Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Grapeseed Oil
  • 1 large White Onion chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 28-ounce can Diced Tomatoes
  • 2 15-ounce cans Garbanzo Beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups Vegetable Broth low sodium kind recommended
  • 1-1 1/2 teaspoons Turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Coriander Seed
  • 2 teaspoons Fresh Ginger ground or fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 6 ounces Baby Spinach
  • Brown Rice for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the onion over medium heat until it begins to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add all of the ingredients except for the spinach and stir to combine. Cover and bring the pot to a boil.
  • Once a full boil is reached, lower the heat to medium low and allow the stew to cook at a gentle boil about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the cover from the pot and add all of the spinach. It’s okay if the pot is very full at this point; the spinach will cook down.
  • Put the cover back on and allow the spinach to steam about 30 seconds to 1 minute before stirring it into the stew to incorporate it.
  • Cook an additional 2 minutes then serve over cooked brown rice.

Notes

Olive oil can be used in lieu of grapeseed oil.
