Spicy Chickpea Stew
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 onions, minced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons agave nectar
  • 2 tablespoons water, or as needed
  • 3 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
  • 4 lemon wedges
  • 4 sprigs fresh cilantro, or as desired
Instructions
1
Preheat the cooking vessel by heating oil over a moderate temperature; sauté and blend onions and garlic until they become tender, taking around 5 to 10 minutes. Introduce the spices - turmeric, cumin, agave nectar, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and black pepper - into the mixture by stirring until it's well-coated. Add a sufficient amount of water to cover the base of the cooking vessel; add carrots and salt, then continue cooking over a low heat for 12 minutes.
2
Combine chickpeas with the carrot mixture, adding more water if necessary to maintain a suitable consistency. Continue cooking for 7 minutes.
3
Serve the dish with lemon wedges and garnish it with cilantro.
