About Recipe

I’ve been dreaming of making this recipe for a long time now. I think the idea for this bake first came into my head a few months ago, I was thinking about different moroccan flavours, and ways I could combine them together into something that was delicious, but also slightly different from what you would expect from a Moroccan dish. Although the layers of this dish are inspired by my love of three classics – tagine, hummus and falafel, I think the overall recipe creates something slightly more modern and different, as well as creating a weeknight meal with more of an exciting twist. I love the rich tastes of classic ‘comfort’ foods, so I decided to make this recipe based on those filling wintertime recipes, often baked in a dish, such as my favourites -lasagne, shepherds pie, or pasta bake. So with all of this inspiration in my head, I created this Moroccan Chickpea Bake. I wish I could have invented a much more interesting title for this, but I think all my creativity got sucked into the recipe! So for now, this dish will have to live with a less inspiring title. After all, the most important element of this recipe is the taste, and this dish is a personal favourite of mine, so I really hope it’s something you enjoy!
