Simple 7-Ingredient Recipe

Golden Chickpea & Sweet Potato Stew

Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total: 35 min

Ingredients (7 pantry staples)

1. 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained & rinsed
2. 1 medium sweet potato, peeled & diced (≈ 1 cup)
3. 1 small onion, finely chopped
4. 2 cloves garlic, minced
5. ½ cup coconut milk (or any plant‑based milk)
6. 2 tsp curry powder (adjust to taste)
7. ½ tsp sea salt (plus more to taste)

Instructions

1. Sauté aromatics – In a medium pot, heat a splash of oil (or just water if you prefer a no‑oil version) over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

2. Add spices – Sprinkle the curry powder over the onion‑garlic mixture. Stir continuously for 15 seconds to release the flavor.

3. Introduce the sweet potato – Toss the diced sweet potato into the pot, coating it with the spice mixture. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add chickpeas & liquid – Stir in the chickpeas, coconut milk, and sea salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.

5. Simmer – Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 20 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

6. Finish & serve – Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle the stew into bowls and enjoy hot. It pairs well with a side of rice or warm flatbread.

Enjoy your quick, comforting dish that’s both sweet and savory, all from just seven pantry staples!
