Created by recipe developer Zena Kamgaing – a whizz at cooking up big flavours from storecupboard staples – this vegan one-pot Harissa Chickpea Stew is a great source of fibre and easy on the wallet too. The combo of tinned tomatoes and harissa (a North African paste that blends chilli heat with a moreish sweet smokiness) creates a rich, thick sauce for the tinned chickpeas. Swap the chickpeas for your favourite beans if you prefer.Time and servings
