1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, passed through a press

3 smallish sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped

3 stalks celery, chopped

2 medium fresh tomatoes, chopped

1 green bell pepper, chopped, membrane and seeds removed

1 1/2 C. cooked chickpeas

4 C. water

 

2 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. turmeric

1 tsp. dried basil

1 tsp. salt

Pinch of cinnamon

Pinch of cayenne

2 bay leaves

1 T. tamari

 

In a dutch oven, warm the oil and sauté the onions, garlic, celery and sweet potatoes for 5 minutes.  Add the seasonings, except for the tamari, and the water.  Cover and simmer for 15 minutes.  Add the remaining vegetables and the chickpeas and continue to simmer for 10 minutes more, until the vegetables are as tender as you’d like.  Stir in the tamari and adjust the seasonings.
