Kumara & Chickpea Tagine – A Delicious Meat-Free Meal
Our Kumara & Chickpea Tagine is a hearty, flavour-packed meat-free meal inspired by the bold spices of Moroccan cuisine. Chunky pieces of kumara, tender chickpeas, vegetables and capsicum are slow-cooked together in a rich tomato, capsicum and herb-based sauce, served with fluffy steamed white rice — a wholesome dish the whole family will love.
As our chef puts it: "In my young twenties I was a vegetarian, this was one of my go-to dishes. I could make a big batch of it, loaded full of goodness — eat some fresh then freeze some so it would always be available. I loved eating it with a big chunk of toasted garlic bread."
Our Kumara & Chickpea Tagine is prepared fresh by our chefs and frozen at peak freshness, so all the flavour and nutrition is locked in and ready for you to enjoy whenever you need a quick, satisfying meal. Simply heat and serve — no fuss, no prep, just a delicious dinner on the table in minutes.
Whether you're eating meat-free a few nights a week or looking for a flavourful vegetarian option to add to your rotation, this tagine delivers comfort and goodness in every bite. Order your Kumara & Chickpea Tagine from Meal Box today and discover why it's one of our most loved meat-free meals
