Moroccan Carrot And Chickpea Stew

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 3/4 pound carrots, cleaned and roughly chopped
• 19 ounces can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups water
• couscous and fresh cilantro for serving

1. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and cook until just beginning to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the chile powder, cumin, turmeric, paprika, salt and cinnamon, and continue to cook, stirring often, for 2-3 minutes more.
3. Add the golden raisins, lemon juice, and tomato paste, stirring until well combined. Cook another minute, then add the carrots and chickpeas. Give everything a good stir to ensure that everything is well mixed. Add the water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered for about 30 minutes.
4. Remove cover and cook an additional 5 minutes to allow stew to thicken slightly. Season to taste with additional salt if needed. Serve stew atop couscous with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top.
