With shorter days and colder nights, you need recipes that are warm, comforting, and hardy. At the same time, you don’t want to make a recipe that takes four hours to make. That’s the great thing about this vegan butternut squash and chickpea stew. After about 15 minutes of prep work, the total cooking time is about 30-40 minutes. Now that’s the kind of time in the kitchen we’re talking about!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This stew is inspired by Moroccan flavors because it is infused with spices and ingredients from that area. Coriander and cinnamon are very aromatic and will fill your kitchen with their intoxicating aromas while the stew simmers. Plus, you have the pungent and spicy harissa that you add to the stew. Harissa is a North African red chili paste or sauce made from a few simple ingredients. More often than not, harissa contains garlic, olive oil, chiles, citrus, and a few warm spices. It can be a bit spicy, tangy, slightly sweet, and smoky, so you can add a little more or less to this stew depending on your spice tolerance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although you can enjoy this stew on its own, it does go great with couscous or rice. This decision is entirely up to you, though, because it is just as tasty with or without those side dishes. The crazy thing about this stew is that it is even better the next day after you reheat it. And don’t forget that you can always mix in a little extra dollop of harissa to enhance the spice level. <\/p>\n
