Chickpea Stew

Nicole Kearsley

Oh this simple and quick stew uses just a few ingredients and is full of nutritious goodness. I used swiss chard from my garden but any greens, like spinach or kale for example would be equally delish. No fresh mint? Leave it out or substitute cilantro. No rules, just yum.

Notes

CHICKPEA: When I am buying canned chickpea, I go for those packed in water and sea salt ONLY.

FRESH MINT: No fresh mint? Leave it out or substitute cilantro.

NO RULES: Any greens, like spinach or kale for example would be equally delish.

SERVING: Great served on toast, rice or sweet potato mash.
