Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 small yellow onion , diced
- 2 lbs Yukon gold potatoes , scrubbed clean and diced
- 2 cans chickpeas , drained
- 1 lb carrots , peeled and diced
- 3 large garlic cloves , minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup water
- 2 teaspoons ground ginger , or equal amount of fresh ginger, minced very finely
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped dried turkish apricots
- dried cherries , optional
- additional chopped dried turkish apricots , for garnish, optional
- pita bread , to serve or scoop or dip with
Instructions
- Put olive and canola oil in large heavy bottomed pot. Brown onions on high heat.
- Add spices and garlic to onions and cook for another 15 seconds to release the flavor of the spices.
- Add broth and water to pot. Add potatoes and carrots and chopped apricots. Cook uncovered on high for 20-30 minutes until the potatoes start to break down in stew and the liquids have been absorbed.
- To serve, spoon into bowl, garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Also delicious if topped with additional chopped apricots and dried cherries.
- For children eating purees, add water to small food processor and puree until smooth.
- If able to eat on their own, you can make the puree and add some pita triangles to serve as a dip. My daughter loves anything she can dip. You could also add the chopped apricots and cherries and call them sprinkles. The bright fruit flavor is something your kid may really appreciate
- It is a bit difficult to make a stew into something more fancy, but think of your plates, or matching napkins. You can also serve the stew over some orzo or brown rice.
