Method

The easiest way to cook this dish is to add all the ingredients to a slow cooker or crock pot and cook on low for 4-6 hours.

Alternatively, heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the coconut oil and diced onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Stir in the garlic, cumin, ginger, turmeric, coriander and saute for 2-3 minutes or until the garlic softens.

Add the sweet potato, chickpeas, tomatoes and coconut milk. Stir to combine, reduce the heat, cover and allow to simmer for 20-30 minutes.

Stir through the baby spinach and cook until it has wilted. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve atop your favourite cooked grain (brown rice, quinoa, millet), squeeze over the lime juice and enjoy.
