Let's Make Alison Roman's Chickpea Stew aka Chickpea Curry

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

spinach

🥗Healthier: kale

💰Cheaper: frozen spinach

Frozen spinach is often less expensive and has a longer shelf life.

Start by heating the pot and adding extra virgin olive oil.

Chop the medium onion and sauté until soft.

Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking until fragrant.

Drain chickpeas, saving the liquid (aquafaba).

Add turmeric to the onion mixture and toast it before adding chickpeas.

Add chickpeas and coconut milk to the pot, stirring to combine.

Simmer for about 20 minutes, occasionally mashing chickpeas against the pot to thicken the stew.

Add a lot of bagged spinach and stir until wilted.

Finish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a dollop of yogurt.
