    It was fine.

    I thought this was good, but not exceptional. I made it with freshly made chicken peas. I added baby spinach for more veggies and to make it a one dish meal. Served with non and marinated feta. I have another chickpea stew I like better.

    As others have noted, this is a truly excellent recipe. I made it with freshly cooked chick peas and butternut squash and served it with the garlic and herb labne (also excellent) and some warm naan.

    The sweetness of the squash, warm harissa and spices, earthy beans and bright sherry vinegar and lemon come together perfectly in this recipe and with very little effort. I used honeynut squash cut in wedges since they were so small. No need to peel these little babies! I used Rancho Gordo Royal Coronas as I had some ready to go. Per the serving suggestions, I added a few cubes of the marinated feta p 71 but I wasn’t really necessary and with all the flavors in the stew, I didn’t really taste the marinade.

    Adding on to the previous posts about how good this was! Shockingly delicious for its simplicity. I made two changes: I used gochujang (~1 Tbsp) because I didn't have harissa and I only did 1/4 cup of olive oil, which made the soup plenty rich. Yummm.

    Delicious and warming.

    Fantastic dish! I made it with butternut squash and the full amount of chickpeas, and I used New York Shuk harissa, about 2.5 Tbsp. and it had a nice, gentle heat. The dish was even better the next day, once the flavors had more time to blend.

    This dish saved my marriage.

  • DKennedy on October 13, 2025

    Really exceptional. I only used one can of chickpeas, one butternut squash, and 1 T. of mild harissa (the one Samin recommended which is amazing). I was on the fence about it before I let it cook down, but that step is key. One of the best squash dishes I have ever had. I can't wait for leftovers tomorrow.
