## Equipment

- Instant Pot

## Tips

- You can add any veggies you want to truly make it your own, such as butternut squash, eggplant, green beans, and cauliflower florets.
- The stew will thicken naturally from the veggies and the starch in the chickpeas.
- Do not add more water than recommended as it may result in a watery tagine.
- Add some chili flakes or chopped fresh chili for a bit of a kick.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Defrost frozen tagine in the fridge overnight before reheating.
