Instructions
- 1
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- 2
Stir in garlic, ginger, carrot, and red bell pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
- 3
Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- 4
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices), rinsed chickpeas, vegetable broth, chopped apricots, and golden raisins. Stir well to combine.
- 5
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 6
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If the stew is too thick, add a little more vegetable broth.

Pro Tips
High in fiber at 13g per serving, this dish will keep you full and satisfied for hours.
This makes a big batch. Leftovers store well in the fridge for 3-4 days, and most components freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
Taste as you go and adjust seasoning before serving. Plant-based dishes often benefit from a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt at the end.
