Coconut Braised Chickpeas With Sweet Potatoes And Greens Food

CHICKPEA SWEET POTATO STEW RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In large pot or Dutch oven, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the onion is semi-translucent.
• Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 2-3 more minutes, until fragrant. Then add the sweet paprika, cumin, coriander, and cayenne and cook for 2 more minutes, until fragrant.
• Add the chickpeas, sweet potatoes, crushed tomatoes, and vegetable broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
• Add the spinach and stir until wilted.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

COCONUT-BRAISED CHICKPEAS WITH SWEET POTATOES AND GREENS

Steps:

• Toast the almonds in a small, dry skillet set over medium heat, tossing and stirring frequently until the almonds take on a golden color, 3 to 5 minutes. (Be vigilant-the almonds go from golden to burned like that.) Transfer the almonds to a plate and set aside to cool.
• Warm a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened a little, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and curry powder and cook, stirring frequently, until it all gets really fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Add the greens to the pot and stir them into the onion mixture with a wooden spoon, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the pot while you do so. (If there are a lot of brown bits and they're sticking, add a teaspoon or two of water.) Add the chickpeas, coconut milk, 2 cups water, and the kosher salt. Let the whole thing simmer, partially covered, for about 10 minutes.
• Add the sweet potatoes to the pot and cook for a minute or two-just enough to warm them through. Stir in the lime juice and cilantro and taste for seasoning; add more salt or lime juice if necessary.
• Serve the braised chickpeas in shallow bowls drizzled with yogurt, topped with the almonds and a few cilantro leaves, and with lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place sweet potatoes cut-side down on a baking sheet. Coat with 1 teaspoon oil and 1 pinch salt.
• Roast potatoes in the preheated oven until tender, turning halfway through, about 25 minutes.
• Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, red curry paste, ginger, and lemon zest. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Stir chickpeas into the pot. Increase heat to high; cook until chickpeas start to turn golden and are coated with the onion mixture. Pour in lemon juice, coconut milk, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat and cook until flavors combine, about 10 minutes. Stir in kale, 1 handful at a time, until wilted, about 5 minutes.
• Serve chickpea mixture over roasted sweet potatoes.
