Description
A hearty and nutritious chickpea and kale stew, perfect for a comforting meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced or crushed
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 1 cup 1/2 inch diced waxy potatoes
- 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 15 oz can full fat coconut milk
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 cups curly kale, chopped, stems removed
- cilantro/coriander to garnish
- additional salt/pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil in a large, heavy bottom pot over medium heat.
- Add the diced onions and cook slowly, lowering heat if necessary. Cook until very soft, translucent and almost breaking down, about 5 minutes.
- Add the curry powder and bay leaf and cook, stirring often, for 3 more minutes.
- Add the garlic and ginger to the pot. Stir and cook until fragrant, constantly stirring to avoid burning the garlic.
- Add the potatoes to the pot and stir. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the crushed tomatoes to the pot and stir once more.
- Add the entire can of coconut milk and the vegetable stock. Stir the pot, place a lid on top, and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat on the stove to a simmer and remove the lid. Cook until the potatoes are just-tender, about 30 minutes.
- Add the chickpeas and chopped kale and simmer for another 5 minutes or until the kale has wilted.
- Check the stew for seasoning, adding more salt if necessary, garnished with chopped coriander/cilantro and serve.
Notes
- This stew can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers based on preference.
