Sweet Potato and Chickpea Stew
This stew is so good, inspired by a recipe I saw on pinterest with my own twist I made it again yesterday and added Spinach. I was also happy that Jasmine liked it too. Super healthy with protein from the nuts and chickpeas, and anti oxidant rich carrots and sweet potatoes.
Ingredients:
- one can of chickpeas
- 2 cloves of chopped garlic
- 1/2 a lime's juice
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1/2 a chopped red onion
- 1/4 teaspoon coriander powder
- one tomato chopped
- one can of chopped tomatoes
- one large carrot chopped
- one large sweet potato chopped
- 1/2 a cup of roughly chopped peanuts
- salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of Turkish seasoning
- one cup of vegetable stock
Method:
- saute the onion and garlic in olive oil, add the cumin and coriander powders for 5 minutes
- add the tomato and let it form a paste 3 min
- then add the carrot, sweet potato, chickpeas, vegetable stock, lime juice, cilantro, Turkish spice and peanuts mix
- simmer for 20 minutes
- enjoy
Have a wonderful weekend everyone :-)
