Mediterranean Chickpea Stew

olive oil

red large onion, diced (1 ½ cup)

zucchini,

garlic, minced (1 heaping tbsp)

oregano

thyme

cloves

allspice

½ red chili flakes

1-680 ml/24 oz jar passata (strained tomatoes)

vegetable stock

bay leaf

baby spinach

tbsp balsamic vinegar (15 ml)

kalamata olives, chopped, optional

½ cup parsley, chopped

yeast

salt and pepper

tsp sweetener, if needed

Cook Onion &amp; Zucchini: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat (or use water for oil-free). When the pan is hot, add onions and zucchini.  Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until almost tender.

Add Garlic &amp; Spices: Add garlic, oregano, thyme, cloves, allspice and chili flakes.  Season with salt and pepper.  Cook for 1-2 mins, stirring often, until fragrant.

Add Liquid &amp; Chickpeas

Add passata, vegetable stock, bay leaf and chickpeas. Season with salt and pepper. Tip: pour passata into the skillet, then add vegetable stock to the empty jar. Put the lid on and give it a shake and then pour into the pan to get the excess sauce from the jar.

Simmer

 Bring to a boil over high, then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12-14 min, stirring occasionally, until sauce reduces slightly. 

Mix in Final Ingredients: Stir in roasted red peppers, balsamic, spinach and olives.  Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until spinach wilts. Taste and season, if needed.

Add Toppings

Sprinkle with parsley, nutritional yeast and additional chili flakes, if desired.

Serve: Serve on a bed of quinoa, rice, over pasta of choice or with fresh pita or naan for dipping.
