Instructions
In a large Dutch oven or tagine pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent.
Add the ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and cayenne pepper to the pot, and stir to coat the onions and garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the spices are fragrant.
Pour the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes (undrained) into the pot, and stir to combine. Add the cubed sweet potatoes, sliced carrots, chickpeas, dried apricots, and raisins to the pot, and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the broth has thickened.
Season the tagine with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the tagine hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
