Chickpea Stew (Recipe)


Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (Use Kasandrinos *FREE Bottle**)
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes or more to taste
  • 2 cans (15-ounce each) diced tomatoes
  • 1 ½ cups low-sodium vegetable broth or water
  • 2 cans (15-ounce each) chickpeas
  • 10 ounces sweet potato about 1 medium
  • 1 teaspoon salt or more to taste
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • 1.  To a large pot or dutch oven, warm up the olive oil, then add chopped onion, celery, and carrot and fry for 5 minutes on medium heat stirring often. Turn the heat down to low and add grated garlic, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, cumin, turmeric, and fry for 1 minute stirring often.


  • 2. Add canned tomatoes, water, drained and rinsed chickpeas, peeled sweet potato cut into bite-size chunks, salt, and black pepper.


  • 3. Stir, cover with a lid, bring to a boil, then crack the top open and simmer on medium-low heat until the sweet potato is tender – about 20-30 minutes.


  • 4. Taste and adjust for salt, then serve with fresh parsley and squeezed lemon. Optionally, add a dollop of yogurt or dairy-free yogurt on top.


  • 5. The chickpea stew is excellent with boiled rice, farro, barley, quinoa, and couscous, or with toasted bread, naan, and roti.


  • 6. If you want to add spinach, kale, bok choi, or chard, do so 5 minutes before the stew is ready, stir them in and allow them to wilt – about 5 to 10 minutes.

Enjoy!!!
