I created this recipe as a vegan alternative to traditional meat stews. The combination of spices and chickpeas creates a flavorful and satisfying dish.

I first tried this recipe on a chilly evening and it instantly became one of my favorite comfort foods.

Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 can chopped tomatoes
2 cups vegetable broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
Add the ground cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, and vegetable broth.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for about 30 minutes, until the stew thickens.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
