Method

  1. Heat a little oil in a large saucepan or casserole and add the cumin, paprika and ginger and stir.
  2. Add the vegetables and fry for 5 minutes, keeping them moving so they brown evenly.

  4. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, then stir in the chickpeas and cook uncovered for a further 10 minutes until the veg is tender.

Low GI

Eat chickpeas and you get a nice low-blood glucose curve. Mixed with the peppers, pumpkin and tomatoes, it helps you avoid sugar peaks and troughs.

    I added additional root veg - sweet potato and parsnip - and a vegetable stock. This went down well as a main course for vegetarians and side dish for meat eaters - so all in all a good basic dish but, for us, it needed a bit more to it.

    This is now a firm family favourite. I add sliced choritzo for added spice or serve with a plain grilled chicken breast. It always goes down a treat.

    I made this and it went down a storm and was easy to make too. I must admit I did add some extraa spices to give it a bit more punch

    I used kidney beans instead of chickpeas. It still works well. I thought it was just aright. But my boyfriend thinks it is great. I will make it again.

    Loved this but changed and added a few more ingredients. I used potatoes and leeks instead of pumpkin. Added a 1/4 tsp of cayenne, 2 sprigs of fennel leaf, a sprig of rosemary, 2 bay leaves, 3 sprigs of oregano and a few minutes before serving threw in a few handfuls of cous cous and some tiny cherry tomatoes from the garden. The cous cous soaked up a lot of the juice and made the dish a meal in one. My family looked dismayed when the saw "vegetable stew" but soon changed their minds and had second and third helpings. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
