Recipe information

  • Yield

    6 servings

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes
One 16-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
One 14- to 16-ounce can low-sodium diced tomatoes
10 to 12 ounces fresh spinach, well washed, stemmed, and coarsely chopped
1 to 2 teaspoons good-quality curry powder, or to taste
Salt to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bake or microwave the sweet potatoes in their skins until done but still firm. When cool enough to handle, peel, and cut into large dice.

    Step 2

    Combine the chickpeas and tomatoes in a large saucepan or stir-fry pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

    Step 3

    Add the spinach and cover. Cook briefly, just until the spinach wilts, and stir in the sweet potatoes, curry, and salt. Stir together and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, and serve.
