Simple Way to What To Eat On A Vegetarian Diet

Vegetarian Moroccan Harira

Vegetarian diets come in lots of shapes and sizes, and you should choose the version that works best for you.

Recipe Summary Vegetarian Moroccan Harira

Harira is a famous Moroccan soup, and here's a hearty vegetarian (and vegan!) version - packed with tomatoes and chickpeas and flavored with paprika, turmeric, saffron, ginger, and harissa. The amount of water can be adjusted depending on the thickness you want. I like this soup pretty thick and nourishing, so I do not add too much water.

Ingredients | What To Eat On A Vegetarian Diet

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 pounds tomatoes, diced

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained

1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped

1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped

20 fresh mint leaves, chopped

1 teaspoon ground paprika

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon harissa

1 pinch saffron threads

4 cups water, or more to taste

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cornstarch

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, cilantro, parsley, mint, paprika, turmeric, ginger, harissa, and saffron. Add water and cook over medium heat until flavors have combined, about 30 minutes.

Mix a few tablespoons of soup liquid with flour and cornstarch in a small bowl and return to the soup, stirring in well. Add cherry tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer over low heat until soup thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

If you have time, peel your tomatoes. To do this, cut an X on the bottom of each, submerge in boiling water for 25 seconds, transfer to an ice water bath, then peel gently and dice.
