Ingredients: 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 onion, diced; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 1 red bell pepper, chopped; 2 carrots, peeled and sliced; 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon paprika; 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes; 4 cups vegetable broth; 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed; 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed; Salt and pepper, to taste; Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the chopped red bell pepper, sliced carrots, and cubed sweet potatoes to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.
Stir in the ground cumin, paprika, turmeric, and cinnamon, coating the vegetables in the aromatic spices. Let the spices toast for a minute to enhance their flavors.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, stirring to combine all the ingredients. Bring the stew to a gentle simmer.
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas and black beans to the pot, stirring well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the stew simmer for about 30-40 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to fully cook.
Once the stew has thickened slightly and the vegetables are tender, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve the African Style Vegetarian Stew hot, garnished with fresh cilantro for a touch of freshness.
