Vegan Chickpea Stew – From Malisa McClure

Today, we’re posting our first ‘Guest Recipe’ on our blog. This one is for a great looking veggie stew (we haven’t tried it yet, but can’t wait) from Malisa McClure. Malisa is a UNA student and the Chief Photographer at the Flor-Ala & Diorama on campus. We had the pleasure of first meeting Malisa when she came by our house for a photo shoot. She ended up staying for dinner that evening and we talked all about being vegan. She’s been kind enough to share the following with us!

The recipe is very simple. And I don’t typically measure anything so these measurements are approximate, lol… Also, I cheated and used cans! Lol.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cans chickpeas, drained
• 1 can diced tomatoes, drained
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• 1 half green pepper, chopped
• 1/4 (or less) of a fresh jalapeno, chopped
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ghee
• A couple handfuls of kale
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup water

-Saute onions, pepper, jalapeno, and garlic in ghee over medium heat until peppers begin to soften.

-Add chickpeas, tomatoes, broth, water, and kale to pot.

-Bring Mixture to boiling, then simmer covered for 10-15 minutes depending on how tender you want the kale to be.

And it’s very very yummy! :]

Thanks, Malisa, for sharing this great recipe. We can’t wait to try it out!
