This 30 minute cheerful chickpea stew is a wonderful one pot dinner and uses ingredients you might already have in your cupboards. I made a version lots this year with celeriac and works really well if you have any parsnips, potatoes or root veg to use up.
Method
- Gently fry the onions, garlic & ginger for 10 minutes until softened, stir every now & then. Use this time to chop all the veg up to about the size of a big fat chickpea.
- Add the turmeric and chilli, the chopped veg, salt & pepper and fry for a few minutes.
- Add the coconut milk and liquid, pop the lid on & medium simmer for about 10 mins until the courgettes are tender. Get on with chopping the greens. Add the cooked chickpeas halfway through.
- Add the greens and cook for another 3 minutes until just tender then season to taste. Serve up with a dollop of yoghurt, fresh herbs & extra chilli flakes on top.

Posted at 18:02h, 27 MarchI love these kinds of recipes, thank you for your inspiration, I’m so grateful. However I am in the middle of cooking this and it doesn’t say when to put the root veg in 🙂 I assume with the coconut milk and stock, but thought I better mention it.
Warm wishes,
Sonja
