I first developed this recipe during the winter holiday season. Needless to say I spend a lot of time cooking during that time of year, and a lot of eating. . . a lot of eating of rich, starchy and sweet foods. After I while, I start craving something savory and nutritious that does not take hours in the kitchen. This vegan chickpea stew fits the bill very well.

Chickpea Stew Ingredients

One of my favorite ingredients to use in almost any recipe, savory or sweet, is wine. I love the tang that it gives to a dish, especially red wine. It is also a great flavor enhancer for dishes with tomato.

The recipe calls for fresh garlic and sliced onion. If you want to make this recipe even easier, use 1/2 tsp of granulated onion and 1/4 tsp of granulated garlic instead. I always like to offer an easier way to make a recipe for those of us who might not have those precious extra minutes to spend chopping.

You may be surprised to see lemon juice and agave in this recipe. But both of these ingredients and excellent flavor enhancers. They will both add another layer of flavor and bring out the flavors of the tomato and spices.

If you are super-motivated to make everything fresh, feel free to cook up your own chickpeas. I like cooking them in the slow cooker. Otherwise, canned chickpeas make this recipe go much faster. Just be sure to drain the liquid and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly will cold water.

Low-Sodium Vegetarian Broth – If you ask, me, there is only one good tasting vegan broth. Imagine “No Chicken” broth has the best flavor of any vegan broth I have tried. I highly recommend using it for this vegan chickpea stew.

I prefer my carrot cake with no crushed pineapple or nuts or raisins. I use a little applesauce to give it some fruity flavor but that's it. So if you're on team nut-free, raisin-free, this is the cake for you.
