sea salt, to taste
2 Tbsp rosewater, I omitted

1 lemon, cut into wedges
Directions
Servings: 6
In a tagine or heavy casserole dish, heat oil over med-high. Add onion, garlic and saute til soft. Add tumeric, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, black pepper, honey and carrots.
Pour in just enough water to cover base of the dish. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook 15 minutes.
Add chickpeas and toss. Add water, if needed. Cover and cook another 10 minutes. Season with salt, sprinkle with rosewater and scatter cilantro over top.
Serve with lemon wedges.
Not included in calorie content: I topped it with non-fat plain yogurt with minced cucumber which "cut" the spicy heat nicely.
Perfect for a weekday lunch and batch cooking.

Delicious! This dish had a much more complex flavor that what I usually concoct, and it was great.
I added some sliced fresh spinach when I added the chickpeas, and it worked very well and added another great color to my plate.
Next time, I will add more carrots though.
Thanks for the recip - 6/14/11

I loved this recipe. I reduced the olive oil to 3 tablespoonfuls and omitted the rosewater. Yum! Excellent meal to make ahead for a wonderful lunch. - 10/15/08
