Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 42 minutes
Servings 2 portions

Ingredients

  • 1 small onion
  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 1 cup Chickpeas precooked or canned
  • 1 cup canned tomatoes or ripe fresh tomatoes chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 handful spinach
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 2 tbs wallnuts optional
  • 1 tbs cumin powder
  • 1 tbs honey agave or maple syrop
  • sea salt by taste
  • black pepper by taste
  • pinch of Harissa or chilli pepper

Instructions

  • Peel and wash the potato, then chop into 1 cm cubes. Peel and finely chop the onion and the garlic.
  • Heat olive oil in a deep frying pan on medium heat and cook the onion and the garlic.
  • Add the sweet potato and let it cook for a little bit.
  • Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, a little water and stir.
  • Season with salt, cumin, chilli pepper and let it simmer for about 25 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked.
  • Try the stew to see if it needs some more seasoning, because usually potatoes absorb the salt... season again if needed. Wash and add the spinach, stir and let it cook for 1 minute.
  • Season with freshly ground black pepper and serve with some ground walnuts on top.

Notes

*The stew could be made with no spinach without losing its delicious and nutritional qualities.
