CHICKPEA STEW

Steps:

• Mix the paprika, ginger, pepper and turmeric in a small bowl until combined; set aside.
• Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, onions and 1 tablespoon salt and cook, stirring and scraping occasionally, until the onions are very soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the carrots and poblano and cook until the colors brighten but the vegetables are not yet tender, about 3 minutes. Add half of the paprika mixture and stir to coat. Cook until the spices are very fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, olives, all of the chickpea liquid, half of the chickpeas and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, then cover and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the chickpeas are very soft, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, position 2 oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• Toss the kale, 2 teaspoons salt and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil, chickpeas and paprika mixture in a large bowl until combined. Divide the kale mixture between 2 rimmed baking sheets and roast, tossing once, until the kale is charred in places, 15 to 25 minutes.

WINTER SQUASH, CHICKPEA & RED LENTIL STEW

Steps:

• Soak chickpeas in enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches for 6 hours or overnight. (Alternatively, use the quick-soak method: Place beans in a large pot with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour.) Drain when ready to use. If you like a very soft chickpea, use the quick method and let the chickpeas boil for five minutes in order to speed up the cooking process.
• Chef's note: Keep your squash and carrots large so that they can withstand the look cooking time without breaking down into the stew.
• Combine the soaked chickpeas, squash, carrots, onion, lentils, broth, tomato paste, ginger, cinnamon, cumin, salt, saffron and pepper in a 6-quart slow cooker.
• Put on the lid and cook on low until the chickpeas are tender and the lentils have begun to break down, about 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 hours.
• Chef's note: If you are planning to serve part of this as leftovers, remove that portion from the crock pot and scale the amount of lime juice accordingly. Reserve the rest of your lime to add after reheating the leftover stew.
• Stir in lime juice. Season with salt to taste.
• Serve over rice (white or brown) sprinkled with peanuts and cilantro.
• Place additional lime wedges on the side for diners to add as they wish.
