Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the chickpeas, fresh spinach, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the stew thickens slightly.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
