Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
⅛ teaspoon curry powder
1 tablespoon butter
1 sweet onion, chopped
2 cups finely shredded kale
4 (14 ounce) cans organic vegetable broth
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
3 large potatoes, peeled and diced
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
4 large carrots, chopped
1 cup dried lentils, rinsed
½ cup chopped dried apricots
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Combine cinnamon, cumin, salt, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, turmeric, and curry powder in a large bowl.
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the onion in the butter until soft and just beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in kale and spice mixture; cook until kale begins to wilt and spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the vegetable broth into the pot. Stir garbanzo beans, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, lentils, apricots, and honey, into the broth; bring to boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until vegetables and lentils are cooked and tender, about 30 minutes. Season stew with black pepper.
  • Dissolve cornstarch in water; stir into stew and simmer thickened, about 5 minutes.

The vegetables in this stew were a bit overcooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking them for a shorter amount of time.
