My husband and I love spicy dinners, but my kids are not as enthusiastic. On days when I have leftovers for them, I will make this for Mark and I, so we get something delicious without offending their delicate palates.
We love this vegan, oil-free dinner- it’s hearty, satisfying, and delicious- everything we want on our heart-happy, Esselstyn-inspired plan.
This is easy and quick to make, especially if you already have rice cooked. If not, start it before cooking the stew, and it should all be done at the same time.
Spicy Chickpea Stew
This spicy stew is hearty and delicious. Serve over rice, or alone over salad. Makes great leftovers.
