Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb okra, stem ends trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (fresh or frozen )
10 sprigs fresh cilantro, plus more leaves for garnish
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 red bell pepper, finely diced
1 medium onion, finely diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper
3 plum tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup vegetable broth
3/4 tsp ground cumin
1 (15 oz) can chickpeas, rinsed
3/4 tsp salt
1 tsp harissa (tunisian chile paste) or 1 tsp chili-garlic sauce

Directions:

Place a large bowl of ice water next to the stove. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add okra and cook for 2 minutes. Transfer the okra with a slotted spoon to the ice water. Drain.
Tie cilantro sprigs together with kitchen string.
Heat oil in a tagine dish set over a heat diffuser or a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until soft, 2 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
Add onion, garlic, ginger and pepper to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the onion is soft, 3 to 6 minutes. Mix in tomatoes, broth, cumin, the okra, cilantro sprigs and half the bell pepper. Reduce heat to medium; partially cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the okra is soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in chickpeas and salt; cook for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat; discard the cilantro sprigs. Stir in harissa (or hot sauce). Serve sprinkled with the remaining bell pepper and cilantro leaves, if desired.
