Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, rinsed and drained

4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 medium potato, diced

1 can (14 oz) coconut milk

2 cups vegetable broth

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lemon

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and turmeric, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

    Add the potato: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and add the diced potato to the pot. Stir well to combine with the spices. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the potato is tender.

      Incorporate chickpeas and spinach: Once the potatoes are tender, add the rinsed chickpeas and chopped spinach to the pot. Stir gently to mix them in, then pour in the coconut milk.

        Simmer and season: Allow the stew to simmer gently for another 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

          Serve: Once the stew is creamy and all the ingredients are well combined, remove from heat. Ladle into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm.
