Weeknight Vegetable Tagine
My Cognac and fire roasted red pepper sauce turns a few vegetables and spices into something magical in under 30 minutes. The addition of the chick peas makes it a one pot delight for any vegetarian or a perfect sider for the whole family. I often add chicken to this and I have everything I need in one dish.
