Step 1
On the cutting board, peel and slice the carrot, finely chop the onion and chop the dried apricot. Mince the garlic with the chef's knife.

Step 2
Heat the olive oil in the large pot over medium heat, then add the onion, garlic and carrot. Sauté for 8 minutes, stirring with the wooden spoon, until the onion is translucent and the carrot begins to soften.

Step 3
Add the tomato, chickpea, dried apricot, Ras El Hanout and 400 ml of the water to the large pot. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce to low heat and simmer for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 4
While the stew simmers, heat the remaining 300 ml of water in the saucepan over high heat until steaming and just boiling.
