Harissa is a Middle-Eastern and African hot chili paste that adds wonderful flavor and color to dishes. Enjoy it in this Curried Chickpea main dish meal.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
4 tablespoons harissa paste
1 13-14 ounce can coconut milk
1 14 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/4 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
3/4 cup cilantro leaves, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Place a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the pan gets hot, add the olive oil, garlic and the harissa paste, and sauté for 3 minutes. Stir in the coconut milk and the chickpeas, and then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes and then remove from the heat.
