Yum yum! This thick, delicious stew will warm you up on these cold Nova Scotia days! This weekend was so cold that I was feeling something hearty and warm with just a bit of spice to keep me warm.
As usual, this recipe is gluten free, vegetarian and even dairy free. Easy! You could add chicken if you desired or even make it peanut free and use almonds and almond butter instead. This stew has a large chunk of ginger which is an amazing herb for digestion and with the 8 cloves of garlic you'll be aiding your immune system fight off any microbes in the form of bacteria or viruses trying to bring you down. Serve on it's own and you've got a grain free recipe or serve with a bit of rice if that floats your boat.
Ingredients:
Directions:
Heat the grapeseed oil in a large pot set over medium-high heat.
Sauté the onions in the oil for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Add the ginger and garlic and sauté another 1-2 minutes, then add the sweet potatoes and stir well to combine.
Add the chickpeas, veggie broth, coconut milk, crushed tomatoes, peanut butter, peanuts, coriander, cayenne, curry powder and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer and salt to taste. Cover the pot and simmer gently for 30 minutes.
Add chopped spinach and simmer for another 5 minutes. Adjust the seasonings and stir in the cilantro. Serve the stew by itself, or with simple steamed rice.
