Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Boil a kettle. Heat a large saucepan filled with salted boiling water on high heat. Add the quinoa and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain.
Dice the aubergine into 1cm cubes. Roughly chop the dates. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Dissolve half the stock cube in a jug with 200ml boiling water (150ml for 1 person).
Heat a medium frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium heat. Add the aubergine and cook for 3 mins. Add the baharat spice and paprika and cook for 1 min. Add the passata, chickpeas, dates, spinach and stock. Simmer for 3-5 mins, until the sauce thickens. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
Meanwhile, zest and halve the orange. Mix the zest, juice from half the orange (to taste) and the yoghurt together in a small bowl. Add a squeeze of orange juice to the tagine (to taste). Roughly chop the coriander and stir half through the cooked quinoa.
Serve the chickpea and date tagine with the quinoa and zesty yoghurt. Garnish with the remaining coriander.
