Tagine of Squash and Chickpeas with Mushrooms

tgnesqushckpmush1200

I love the unusual combination of flavorings in this dish. The tastes of the
cinnamon and ginger really come through, and the bittersweet mixture of lemon
and honey, with a sprinkling of currants, adds a perfect finish. Serve this over
whole-grain couscous to complement the Middle Eastern flavors. Add spinach or
Swiss chard to complete the meal.

  1. In a large bowl combine flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir currants into flour mixture. Mix yogurt and eggs together in a small bowl and stir into flour mixture. (This is a very thick batter.) Stir in butter. Heat a lightly greased frying pan or griddle over low heat until hot. Spoon batter in batches forming 1 1/2″ (8 1/2 cm) cakes.
