Peel and finely dice shallots and garlic. Sauté in oil and briefly fry the tomato paste and curry powder or Ras el Hanout. Deglaze with the canned tomatoes or the tomato cubes. Add the chickpeas and simmer briefly. Season to taste and serve.
Goes well with vegan patties, but also with meat dishes for meat eaters. But can also be eaten as a simple summer stew.
