Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 inch ginger, grated
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
• 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 lime, juiced and zested
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Transfer the onion mixture to the slow cooker or Instant Pot. Add the diced sweet potatoes, chickpeas, coconut milk, vegetable broth, lime juice, lime zest, cumin, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
4. For the slow cooker: Stir everything together, cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. For the Instant Pot: Set to manual pressure for 10 minutes, then quick release.
5. Once cooked, gently stir the stew and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Make it your own: Substitute sweet potatoes with regular potatoes or butternut squash for a different flavor profile.

For a thicker stew, blend a portion of the chickpeas before adding them back to the pot. If you’re looking to spice things up, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper for some heat.

This stew stores well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months. Just reheat on the stove or in the microwave and enjoy your comforting meal again!
