Curried Chickpea Apricot Stew

By Flora & Vino 2 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Delicious 1-pot stew with chickpeas and Moroccan inspired vegetables and spices. Naturally sweetened with dried apricots. Perfect for easy weeknight dinner!

Curried Chickpea Apricot Stew

I tried to get back into running over the weekend.

It started because I just got a new pair of Brook’s running shoes, and, if you’re like me, nothing inspires you more to run than the possibility of wearing in a new pair of sneakers!

Dan and I bundled up and Harper even came along, but the cold hit me like a post-smoothie bowl body-freeze within the first few seconds.

I made it about half way down the street, yelled to Dan that I couldn’t feel my face, and turned around and ran home.

Fast.

It might not be ideal running weather, but do you know what it is?

It’s ideal stew weather.

This Curried Chickpea Apricot Stew has a warm blend of spices that will make you toasty from the inside out!

Curried Chickpea Apricot Stew

There are few things I love more this time of year than a good Moroccan spice blend.

I’m talking curry, cumin, paprika, turmeric, ginger and cinnamon.

I’ve been shaking them into my entrees for a little extra vigor and vitality.

The veggies in this stew always intrigue me because they’re not your everyday stew veggies.

The recipe calls for fresh leek, carrot, bright bell pepper, salty black olives, and sweet apricot to make this stew complex and robust.

If you don’t like any of these, feel free to swap in your own!

Cubed sweet potato, eggplant, or butternut squash would do well here, too.

If you don’t have dried apricot on hand, try subbing raisins, dates, or plums for a similar result.

Throw in some chickpeas and you’ve got yourself a hearty plant-based bowl.

Curried Chickpea Apricot Stew

Enjoy this Curried Chickpea Apricot Stew as a fun cold-weather entree that’s packed with flavor.

Make a full serving and dish it out all week long over cooked quinoa.Some other ideas for serving are with rice, millet, stuffed into a sweet potato, or by itself!

I like to garnish my bowls with a generous amount of cilantro and a dollop of coconut or almond milk yogurt.

How about we try that whole cold-weather-running thing again this weekend…with a bowl of this as motivation at the finish line?

Instagram post 17860325119620266 On Sundays we breakfast all day. 🍳 Dipping my favorite @hilaryseatwell spicy veggie sausage patties in mustard in front of my mini Christmas tree and wouldn’t have it any other way. 🌲If you’ve never tried these vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-free plant-based sausages you need to put them on your Christmas list for Santa ASAP. 🎅 What’s your favorite @hilaryseatwell dip? 😏 Sometimes I do guac or hummus or ketchup but mustard is my TOP. -
Fueling after a morning hike with the pup and a working day here at F&V...hope you’re having a relaxing Sunday! 😘

Instagram post 17842500349878252 I made cauliflower rice bowls for dinner this week that reminded me of this LENTIL WINTER SQUASH CAULIFLOWER RICE POWER BOWL. 🍲 It just hit me that I haven’t had red kuri squash yet this season and that needs to change! Like now! If you’ve never tried red kuri I highly recommend it— it’s another squash with super soft skin that easy to work with and even easier to devour. 🤤 if you don’t have red kuri you can still make it with your favorite winter squash like butternut or acorn squash instead! Grab the recipe on Flora & Vino— link is in my profile!

About to dawn my dress and surrender my hair and makeup to my gal pal for a Christmas party this evening— excited to get festive! PS I went with the red shoes (for those that watched my stories and had strong shoe opinions) 😘😘😘. 👠

Instagram post 18107441725077368 Hey smoothie bowls can be red and green, too! 🎄Like this EVERGREEN SMOOTHIE BOWL that’s banana-free and packed with berries, nut butter, and tons of frozen leafy greens to get that vibrant mossy color! 🍨 I love mine filled with pomegranate arils, coconut, and granola. You can also use fresh greens in this recipe but frozen is best for the thickest smoothie bowl texture. Grab the recipe link in my profile and stock up on ingredients this weekend! -
Up bright and early today for a day filled with pampering. ☀️ My friend so kindly asked me to her office Christmas party so I’m excited to get dolled up and go out in a 👗 and 👠! Hope you have a great weekend! .

Instagram post 17869586221527783 Heading to book club tonight and I’m bringing the DIP. 😎 If I was really on my game I would have whipped up this CREAMY CAULIFLOWER DIP that’s paleo, vegan, and oil-free! It also just happens to be a pretty red and green spread if you pair it with beet chips and fresh parsley like I like. 😚 Serve it warm or chilled— I like mine straight out of the blender with a little warmth from the blades. 👌🏻

I feel bringing this might offset the fact that I didn’t read EITHER of our books this month 😂😂😂.

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!

Just hung out with my nieces and nephews and one of my nieces is asking for an American girl doll for Christmas. I was beyond excited to hear this because American girl dolls were always on my Christmas list growing up! I think I had the entire collection at once point...but my first doll was Felicity. 👧 Anyone else an American Girl Doll OG?
