Crockpot Chana Masala
Serves 4-6
Steps
- This vegetarian chickpea stew makes a great family dinner—it’s cheap and easy to make, plus, it’s packed with protein, fiber, and iron (if you add the spinach).
- 1. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
- 2. Add onion and a large pinch of salt and sauté for 10 minutes, until the onion is translucent and softened.
- 3. Add ginger, garlic, chili, and spices and sauté for 2 more minutes.
- 4. Add 1 cup of water to the pan to deglaze, using your spoon to scrape up any nice bits that may have stuck to the pan.
- 5. Transfer everything to the crockpot and add chickpeas, canned tomatoes, and a large pinch of salt.
- 6. Set the crockpot to low and cook for 6 hours. If using, add the spinach for the last 20 minutes of cooking. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- 7. Serve with brown rice or quinoa and top with yogurt, chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, if desired.
