Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 15 ounces canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 9 ounces frozen artichoke hearts
• 0.5 cup kalamata olives
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and slice the carrots and celery. Add them to the pot and sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Stir in the cumin, coriander, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices and release their aroma.

Step 4

Add the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes (including their juices) to the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then add them to the pot along with the frozen artichoke hearts. Stir well.

Step 6

Cover the pot and let the stew simmer over low to medium heat for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld.

Step 7

Roughly chop the kalamata olives and parsley. Stir them into the stew along with the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
