Vegan Lentil, Sweet Potato and Chickpea Stew

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
  • 3 French shallots, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary sprigs
  • 1 medium sweet potato, chopped into 3cm pieces
  • 1 cup French green lentils
  • 750ml vegetable stock
  • 1 tin of chickpeas, well-drained and rinsed
  • baby spinach, to serve

Preparation:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and rosemary sprigs and cook for around 3–4 minutes to soften. Add the sweet potato and cook for a further minute. Add the lentils, the stock and enough water to submerge the vegetables by 3–4 cm.

  • Transfer to a large serving bowl and top with plenty of baby spinach and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serves 6.
