Every Monday and Wednesday, we'll announce a new Wildcard winner: A recipe that may not have been entered in (or won) a contest, but a recipe that we've tested and loved.
Today: Weeknight dinners just got a lot more fun.
WHO: Allyeats lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and loves literature and history.
WHAT: A hearty, delicately-spiced stew, cooked in true Moroccan fashion.
HOW: Get your onions and spices going, add your squash and chickpeas, and simmer away. Serve with couscous. Throw a party.
WHY WE LOVE IT: We love allyeats' vegeterian take on traditional tagine; the squash and chickpeas keep it wintry and hearty, but make it perfect for a weeknight dinner. Plus, her couscous method -- which involves a quick bake, to get it nice and crusty on top -- is pure genius.
More: Check out our International Cookware collection for tagines, paella pans, and more.
