Difficulty: 2/3

Looking for plant-based perfection? You've found it! You'll sauté smoky Tunisian-spiced chickpeas until crisp, then serve over a bed of jasmine rice studded with crunchy pistachios and chewy apricots. Top with tangy cucumber pickles for brightness, and finish with a creamy dollop of earthy, spicy harissa aioli to tie it all together.
