Herb and Chickpea Stew

This summery Herb and Chickpea Stew recipe makes simple ingredients into a bold and satisfying vegetarian meal. Serve it over steamed white rice and top with crispy, aromatic chickpeas, Greek yogurt and fresh mint. For a vegan alternative, sub out the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free option.

To make this stew, start by sautéing the onions in olive oil for 5 minutes before adding the chickpeas. Cook, tossing the chickpeas occasionally until they are crispy. Then stir in the spices and lemon zest and cook until aromatic. Remove some of the chickpeas and reserve for topping. Then add in the vegetable broth and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce to a simmer and stir in the spinach leaves and fresh herbs. Cook until the spinach has wilted. Make a taste test, and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
