Chickpea, sweet potato & nettle stew
This turned out amazing when I missed the shops and just had to make something good from what I had in. A true vanlife recipe, making the most of what's in the cupboards. Perfect served with some fresh bread
Equipment
- Wonderbag
Ingredients
- 1 Sweet potato
- 1 Red onion
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Ginger
- 1 handful Nettles/ spinach
- 1 can Chickpeas
- 1 can Chopped tomatoes
- 250 ml Vegetable Stock
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 Chilli
Instructions
- Start by frying garlic, ginger and onion in olive oil in a deep pan. Cook until brown, then add the paprika and chilli.
- Next add chick peas and sweet potato. Add tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Let it boil for a few mins then place in the wonderbag for 20 minutes.
- Take the pan out and add the nettles after washing them first (I like adding foraged items to my food). Put back on the hob for about 3-5 mins as this takes the sting out of the nettles and makes food piping hot.
