Vejledning

Cook rice: Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add ¼ of the onion; cook, stirring, until just softened, 2-3 minutes. Stir in rice, 1 1/2 cups stock, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Make chermoula: While rice cooks, in a small bowl, combine cilantro, 3 TBSP olive oil, a pinch of garlic, salt, and pepper. Add lemon juice to taste and as much jalapeño as you like. Taste and add more garlic if desired.

Make Crema: In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream, a pinch of salt, and as much lemon juice as you like. Add water if needed until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

Make tagine: Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and remaining onion. Cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 7-10 minutes. Add Tunisian Spice, remaining garlic, and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

• Add 2/3 cup stock to pan. Stir in chickpeas and bring tagine to a low simmer. Cook until liquid has slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Reduce heat to low; stir in 2 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted. Season with salt and pepper.

• Fluff rice with a fork; stir in TBSP butter. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide rice between plates and top with tagine, almonds, and apricots. (TIP: Toast almonds before adding if you like.) Drizzle with lemon crema and chermoula. Drizzle with hot sauce if desired. Cut any remaining lemon into wedges and serve on the side.
