Chickpeas are super versatiles. They are great in any kind of dish, from the famous hummus dip, to any main meal. Reserve the liquid you get from the can of chickpeas, and you have the best egg white substitute to make any mousse dessert, or meringues.

Or any dessert that required egg whites to be beaten. How amazing, isn’t it? If you fancy a hearty meatless chickepea stew, this is the recipe for you. It’s loaded with healthy veggies, and it’s packed with essential vitamins and minerals.

Plus, I can tell you that you won’t miss the meat from this stew, the chickpeas are filling enough. However, if you don’t particularly want this stew to be vegan, add chorizo for a nice smoky flavour.

How do you make vegan chickpea stew?

Have all the vegetables already chopped, so you don’t need to rush anything.

  • Heat up the oil in a pan, add the onion, and fry gently with a pinch of salt until it softens.
  • Add the chopped carrots, celery, roasted red pepper and garlic, and stir for 1-2 minutes
  • Pour over the vegetable stock, and leave to cook for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender
  • Throw in the frozen spinach (or fresh one), tomato puree, garlic, and leave to cook for a further 5 minutes until the spinach wilts
  • Season well with salt and pepper, and remove from the heat

What to serve with chickpea stew?

I served mine with bulgur wheat, it’s a lovely low carb option, but basmati rice also works great with this stew. Couscous is another great side dish, and is ready in less than 5 minutes. All you need to do is add boiling water to it, cover, and leave the couscous to soak up the water.

Can you freeze the stew?

Yes, absolutely! Just leave it to cool completely before adding it to freezer-safe containers. To defrost, pop it in the microwave, and job done.

    This looks amazing and I can hardly wait to make it! One thing – in the narrative above the ingredients it says “chicken stock” instead of vegetable stock. Oops! We all know that’s not vegan.

      Hi! Thank you for your message, and for pointing out the mistake. I don’t know where the chicken came from, in the recipe card l did say vegetable stock in both ingredient and instructions. I was clearly thinking of chicken at the moment l typed it 😂
      Anyway, if you don’t particularly want the dish vegan, it can of course be made with chicken stock, or added any kind of meat to it. Otherwise, just avoid the chicken stock 😂
