Heat the olive oil in a tagine or large pot over medium heat. Add the red onion and carrots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and chili flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, Jersey Royal potatoes, and chickpeas. Bring to a simmer.
Cover the tagine and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the diced red bell pepper and courgette. Cook for a further 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but still have a slight bite.
Stir in the chopped preserved lemon (if using). Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh coriander.
Serve hot with couscous or crusty bread.

For a richer flavor, use a good quality vegetable stock.
Adjust the amount of chili flakes to your preferred level of spiciness.
If you don't have preserved lemon, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end.
You can add other vegetables to this tagine, such as butternut squash, sweet potato, or spinach. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
If you don't have a tagine, a Dutch oven or large pot with a tight-fitting lid will work just as well.
