Directions:DIRECTIONS 1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic, onion & ginger. Season with a pinch of sea salt & pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until onion is tender & translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. 2. Add turmeric, red-pepper flakes & chickpeas, season with salt & pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, so the chickpeas sizzle and fry a bit in the spices & oil, until they've started to break down and get a little brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove about a cup of chickpeas and set aside for garnish. 3. Using a wooden spoon or spatula, further crush the remaining chickpeas slightly to release their starchy insides which will thicken the stew. Add the coconut milk & stock to the pot, season with another pinch of salt and pepper (go easy on the salt if your stock is salted.) Bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits that have formed on the bottom of the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the stew has thickened, 30 to 35 minutes. Cook longer if you want the stew a bit thicker or until you've reached your desired consistency. 4. Stir in the greens and cook until wilted & softened, about 3 to 7 minutes, depending on what you're using. (Swiss chard & spinach will wilt and soften much faster than kale or collard greens). Taste the stew for salt & pepper before you serve and add more if needed. 5. Divide among bowls and serve with desired condiments on the side (yogurt, herbs, pita, flatbread or lavash.) |
