Simple spices and chilli give warmth on a much needed winter’s day. Simple to make, even simpler if you use packaged stock for a convenient dinner you prepare and set to cook. You can plan ahead with your home-made stock, cook on a different day and freeze. If you plan to use homemade stock where you cook on the same day add an extra 70 minutes to the preparation time, most of which is set and forget till the timer goes off! 

Ingredients

  • 6 cups vegetable stock (homemade or packaged)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 brown onion – peeled, rinsed, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves – peeled, rinsed, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 red bird’s eye chilli – washed, stem removed, sliced finely
  • 4 cups sweet potatoes – approximately 4 medium – peeled, rinsed, diced
  • 3 cups carrots – approximately 4 medium – peeled, rinsed, diced
  • 400g / 14oz can chickpeas – drained, rinsed 
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice – approximately half a lemon
