Both the apricot and squash add a really nice natural sweetness to the dish and once cooked through the stock and tomatoes, they become really plump and juicy. Chickpeas are a brilliant store-cupboard stable that provide protein and fibre. You can also simply use a 'baharat' or 'ras el hanout' blend instead of the individual spices too.
