Ingredients

Instructions

  1. SAUTE AROMATICS

    • Heat olive oil over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic and bell pepper until soft (5 mins).

    Tip: Add a pinch of salt to draw out moisture and speed up cooking.
  1. TOAST SPICES

    • Stir in smoked paprika and cumin for 1 min to intensify flavors.

    Tip: For extra depth, add ½ tsp ground coriander or a dash of cayenne.
  1. SIMMER TOMATOES AND CHICKPEAS

    • Add tomatoes, vinegar and bay leaf. Simmer for 5 minutes to thicken.

    • Mash ½ cup chickpeas with a fork to thicken the stew naturally.

    Tip: Use fire-roasted tomatoes for a smokier taste.
  1. SPINACH

    • Stir in spinach until just wilted (2–3 mins). Overcooking makes it mushy.

    Tip: Substitute kale for spinach; blanch first to soften.
  1. STORE OR SERVE

    • Divide into containers. Top with a drizzle of olive oil before sealing.

    Tip: Freeze portions in silicone molds for single-serving reheating.
  1. STORAGE AND REHEATING

    • Fridge: Up to 4 days. Flavors deepen over time.

    • Freezer: 2 months. Thaw in fridge overnight.

    Tip: Serve with crusty bread or over quinoa for variety.

Key Takeaways for Recipe:

    1. Prep Smart: Batch-cook grains and proteins for the week.
