Moroccan-Style Vegan Stew

If you have been following me for a while, you know that I am not a vegan. I am not a big fan of meat, but truly enjoy cheese, yogurt, eggs, fish, and the occasional pork curry. Yet, vegan dishes make it quite often to our dinner table; partly for environmental reasons, partly for better sleep. 

If you have read my book SLEEP IT OFF: A Revolutionary Guide to Losing Weight, Beating Diabetes, and Feeling Your Best Through Optimal Rest, you know that sleep is not something I am very good at, and any meat at dinner is going to impact the quality of my rest. 

So, here is another recipe that my family enjoys: a Moroccan-Style Chickpea Stew. It is loaded with nutrients and rich in protein, but also doesn't contain any animal product. I hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 TBSP Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Garlic (cloves, minced)
  • 1 Red Onion (large, sliced)
  • 2 Cups Vegetable Broth
  • 2 Orange Bell Peppers (cut in chunks)
  • 1 Sweet Potato (diced)
  • 3 cups Chickpeas (cooked, rinsed)
  • Sea Salt (to taste)

Preparation

  1. Add olive oil to a pot and soften garlic and onion for about 3 minutes on medium heat.

  3. Add the tomatoes, parsley, and the dates to the pot and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot with a lid. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
