Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1 cup vegetable broth

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

    Spice It Up: Add in the ground cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, and turmeric. Stir well and let the spices cook for about 1-2 minutes to release their flavors.

      Incorporate Chickpeas: Add the drained chickpeas to the pot and stir to coat them in the spice mixture. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the chickpeas to warm up.

        Add Liquids: Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Stir everything together, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Simmer the Stew: Allow the stew to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help meld the flavors.

            Add Spinach: Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and tender.

              Season to Perfection: Season with salt, pepper, and fresh lime juice to taste. Adjust seasoning as desired.

                Serve: Ladle the creamy chickpea spinach stew into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve warm with crusty bread or over cooked rice for a complete meal.
