Description

Vegan Moroccan Stew is a cozy, one-pot meal made with chickpeas, lentils, sweet potatoes, warm spices, and greens. Hearty, comforting, and perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon paprika

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger

  • ¼ teaspoon allspice

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed

  • 2 medium gold potatoes, cubed

  • 2 carrots, sliced

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • ¾ cup dry green lentils, rinsed

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced or crushed tomatoes

  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth

  • 1 teaspoon coconut sugar

  • 2 cups kale or spinach, chopped

  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until softened.

  2. Add garlic and all spices. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Stir in sweet potatoes, gold potatoes, carrots, chickpeas, lentils, tomatoes, and vegetable broth.

  4. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes, or until vegetables are fork-tender.

  5. Remove lid and stir in coconut sugar and greens. Cook uncovered for 5 more minutes, until greens are wilted.

  6. Adjust consistency with extra broth, water, or coconut milk if desired.

  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if using.

Notes

This stew thickens naturally as it cools—perfect for leftovers.

For a creamier version, add ¼ cup coconut milk at the end.

Serve with rice, quinoa, couscous, or warm flatbread.

Stores well in the fridge for up to 5 days and freezes beautifully.
