Instructions

  1. Warm the olive oil in a pot and cook the onion until soft.

  2. Add the garlic, ginger, cumin, and turmeric, then stir until fragrant.

  1. Add the sweet potato, chickpeas, tomatoes, salt, and a splash of water.

  2. Cover and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender.

  3. Stir occasionally so nothing sticks to the pot.

  4. Fold in the spinach and cook until just wilted.

  5. Finish with the lemon juice and adjust the salt.

  6. Serve warm over rice or on its own.

Tips

Cut sweet potatoes small enough so they soften before the chickpeas dry out.
