Preparation

Cooking Instructions

1. Sauté Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.

2. Add Spices

Stir in the berbere spice mix and cook for another minute, allowing the spices to bloom in the oil.

3. Incorporate Chickpeas and Tomatoes

Add the canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed) and diced tomatoes to the pot. Stir well to combine.

4. Add Broth

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5. Add Spinach and Season

Fold in the fresh spinach and continue to cook until wilted, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6. Serve

Serve the stew warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
