A warming sweet potato and chickpea stew with tomatoes, spinach, ginger and mild spices.
Chickpeas provide fibre and plant protein, while sweet potato and spinach add further fibre and micronutrients. Ginger, cumin and turmeric bring warmth and flavour without making the dish overly spicy.
Method
- 1 Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- 2 Add the ginger, cumin and turmeric and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant — this brief toasting wakes up the spices before the liquid goes in.
- 3 Add the sweet potato, chickpeas, tomatoes and vegetable stock and stir to combine.
- 4 Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potato is tender enough to crush easily against the side of the pan with a spoon.
- 5 Stir through the spinach and cook for a minute or two until wilted through.
- 6 Finish with lemon juice and fresh coriander before serving.
