Dersa is a spicy tomato sauce made hot with harissa or cayenne and garlic. The spices vary: cumin and paprika are standard, but cinnamon, coriander, or caraway are the choice of the cook. Cooking the chickpeas in a tagine gives them an amazing creamy texture. White beans may be prepared the same way. These savory chickpeas can be served with couscous as a vegetarian main course, ideally paired with some braised greens for balance. They can also be and accompaniment for fish and seafood.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
Warm the oil in a tagine over medium heat. Add the garlic, cayenne, paprika, black pepper, cumin, and cinnamon, if using , and saute for a few seconds. Add the tomato puree and water and bring to a boil. Add the chickpeas and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the tagine and cook until the chickpeas are tender, about 1 hour, adding the salt after 15 minutes.
Sprinkle with cilantro.
