Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, grated

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)

2 cups vegetable broth

2 cups fresh spinach

2 tablespoons red curry paste (adjust to taste)

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Lime wedges, for serving

Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Then, stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

    Add Veggies: Incorporate the chopped red bell pepper into the pot. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pepper has softened slightly.

      Spice it Up: Add the red curry paste, turmeric, cumin, and coriander to the mixture in the pot. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring well to toast the spices until they become aromatic.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, mixing everything together thoroughly. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Coconut Creaminess: Add the coconut milk and rinsed chickpeas to the pot, stirring to combine. Continue to simmer the stew for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld.

            Greens Galore: In the final minutes of cooking, fold in the fresh spinach gently until it wilts. Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary.

              Serve Up: Ladle the hearty stew into bowls. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve alongside lime wedges for a burst of citrus. This dish pairs beautifully with fluffy cooked rice or quinoa to absorb the rich flavors.
