Equipment
- large pot
- stove
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato (diced)
- ½ a large red onion (diced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 stalk celery (chopped)
- 2 carrots (chopped)
- 1 can diced low sodium tomatoes
- 1 large can organic chickpeas rinsed. (Or you can cook your own from dried)
- 2 tomato cans of water
- big fistful of spinach
- 1 tbsp coconut or olive oil
- 1 tbsp curry powder (more to taste)
- 1 tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- 1 tsp sea salt and cracked pepper
- nutritional yeast
Instructions
- In a large pot, add coconut or olive oil and chilli flakes.
- Add in onion and garlic until you can see the garlic start to brown. Doesn't take long!! Add in all your spices, reserving some sea salt and pepper.
- Add in carrot and celery and cook for 2-3 min. Then add the sweet potato. Cook for another 3,4 min. Adding a touch of water to help along.
- Once veggies start to soften add in tomato and the desired amount of water. Allow to come to a boil and reduce heat cooking until veggies are fork tender.
- Add in chickpeas and cook for 3 min.
- Add in a big handful of spinach just at the end. Check for more seasoning and get your bowls ready!!
- I like to give it about 15 minutes to rest off the heat and then ladle into bowls. Finish with a sprinkling of nutritional yeast, olive oil and a pinch more sea salt and cracked pepper.
