Simple Chickpea Coconut Stew with Ginger, Turmeric & Kale
It's healthy and extremely comforting, packed with superfood ingredients ginger, turmeric, kale, coconut milk, and chickpeas. I've made several changes to the original recipe to streamline the process.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2-inch piece of ginger, chopped
  • salt and black pepper

  • 1 (15-ounce) can coconut milk
  • 3.5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 large bunch kale (or other sturdy leafy greens like chard or collard greens), stems removed and leaves chopped or torn into bite-sized pieces

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large soup pot. Add the onions and sauté several minutes until starting to color.
  • Add the garlic, ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté another minute.
  • Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Add them along with the turmeric and red pepper. Sauté several minutes until starting to color. Use a potato masher to roughly mash them, leaving some whole.
