    You can serve this Sweet Potato Chickpea Stew with rice or quinoa for an even more complete meal! I also like to serve this stew with Naan bread that I can dip in the sauce. Vary this recipe by adding spinach or fresh kale leaves and changing the chickpeas with another kind of legume, such as white beans, or lima beans or completely replacing them with frozen edamame

    This stew makes 8 servings so if you are alone and you don’t want to eat leftovers all week, you can easily freeze it, it will keep up 3 months in the freezer

    FAQ'S

    Do you boil sweet potatoes before putting them in the stew?

    No, you just cook the sweet potatoes with the rest of the ingredients

    Should you peel sweet potatoes before putting them in the stew?

    You don't have to peel sweet potatoes before cooking them. However, most people prefer the smoother texture of peeled potatoes, especially in sweet dishes like sweet potato pie. If you keep the skins on your sweet potatoes, please remember to wash and scrub them well before cooking them
