THIS CHICKPEA STEW WILL BE YOUR NEW FAVORITE VEGAN RECIPE

Oh yeah! Nothing beats stew!

Especially a slow cooker stew that ticks all the boxes on the flavor charts. Cumin is a warming spice you might normally associate with curry – but it’s right at home in this tomato based chickpea stew.

And smoked paprika brings a level of deep smokiness you’d expect from something like chorizo. However, this satisfying comfort food recipe is 100% plant based! Hey – don’t worry – you won’t miss the meat!

This hearty potato stew is packed with veggies like baby spinach, fire roasted tomatoes – and, of course, the star of the show… chickpeas.

And whether you call them chickpeas or garbanzo beans, there’s no denying that their delicate nutty flavor is the perfect palate for the base of garlic, tomatoes and onions in this stew recipe.
