Ingredients
- 2 lbs sweet potato peeled and diced
- ½ large sweet onion chopped
- 1-2 tsp canola oil
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 10 oz fresh spinach washed, stemmed and coarsely chopped
- 1 can (14½ oz) chickpeas rinsed and drained
- ½ cup water
- 1 can (14½ oz) diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the sweet potatoes in a vegetable steamer and cook for about 15 minutes.
- While the sweet potatoes are cooking, heat the canola oil in a large pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they start to soften.
- Mix in the curry powder, cumin, and cinnamon, stirring to evenly coat the onions with the spices.
- Add the diced tomatoes with their juices and the chickpeas to the pan. Stir everything together.
- Pour in ½ cup of water and increase the heat to bring the mixture to a strong simmer. Continue for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add the spinach, a few handfuls at a time, stirring each addition until the spinach is coated with the cooking liquid.
- Once all the spinach has been added, cover the pan and let it simmer until the spinach is just wilted, about 3 minutes.
- Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the pan, stirring to mix them with the other ingredients. Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until the flavors have melded together.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro, and serve hot. This dish pairs well with basmati or brown rice.
