Directions

  1. First make the chermoula: In a blender, add the oil, salt, garlic, paprika, black peppercorns, cumin, turmeric, and 2 tablespoons broth to moisten. Blend.  Add the cilantro and parsley.  Blend until a rough paste is formed. Add broth or water as necessary to loosen the paste.  Set aside.
  2. Begin the stew by adding the wet chard leaving into a hot pan, covered, until they have wilted. Drain, coarsely chop and set aside. Dice the chard stems and set aside.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over a medium high heat. Add the onion, dried chili, red pepper, diced chard stems and thyme. Fry until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the reserved chermoula sauce, chickpeas, and ½ cup of broth.  Cook until the onions are soft.
  4. Add the tomatoes, steamed chard, lemon zest, and ¼ cup of broth. Turn heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in remaining cilantro, and serve.
