This Moroccan Chickpea Stew Is Cozy, Healthy, and Absolutely Delicious

"Here's a healthy dinner idea that's so hearty and satisfying, it will please everyone around the table: this Moroccan Chickpea Stew! It's ultra flavorful: the sweet potatoes get tender and creamy, the chickpeas soak up all those gorgeous spices, and everything comes together in one pot. I love serving this stew with quinoa for a tasty plant based dinner that's also gluten free. If you like, a dollop of Greek yogurt: and most definitely a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors!"

"This Moroccan chickpea stew plays on flavors from Moroccan cuisine that make it taste complex and fresh: it's full of cumin, ginger, a bit of cinnamon, and topped with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lemon and a touch of Greek yogurt. Here are the major ingredients in the base stew: Onion and garlic: Aromatics that build the foundation of flavor Sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished potatoes, which create natural sweetness: no need to peel!"

The stew combines sweet potatoes, chickpeas, canned tomatoes, spinach, onion, garlic, olive oil, and vegetable broth with Moroccan spices such as cumin, ginger, and a hint of cinnamon. Sweet potatoes become tender and creamy while chickpeas soak up the spices, resulting in a robust one-pot meal. Serve over quinoa for a gluten-free, plant-based dinner and finish with a squeeze of lemon, fresh cilantro, and an optional dollop of Greek yogurt. Canned chickpeas provide convenience; 1½ cups cooked chickpeas also work. Butternut squash can replace sweet potatoes, and fire-roasted tomatoes add extra depth. Reader reviews praise the flavors and repeat servings.
