Instructions

  1. Heat mild-flavored olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.
  2. Add finely chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and soft.
  3. Add minced garlic, if using, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant without browning.
  4. Stir in diced carrots, sweet potato, and beetroot cubes. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to soften vegetables.
  5. Add ground cumin and paprika, stirring well to evenly coat the vegetables.
  6. Pour in vegetable broth and tomato puree, then add cooked chickpeas stirring gently to combine.
  7. Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and cover with a lid.
  8. Simmer for 20-25 minutes until vegetables are tender and flavors meld.
  9. If the stew is too thick, gradually add water to achieve a smooth, stew-like consistency.
  10. Remove from heat and allow the stew to cool slightly before serving to prevent burns and ensure safe eating.
  11. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley.
  12. Serve warm as a stew, with bread or rice if desired.
