SWEET POTATO CURRY WITH SPINACH AND CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• You may choose to cook the sweet potatoes however you prefer.
• I like to peel, chop and steam mine in a veggie steamer for about 15 minutes.
• Baking or boiling work well too.
• While sweet potatoes cook, heat 1-2 tsp of canola or vegetable oil over medium heat.
• Add onions and sauté 2-3 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
• Next, add the curry powder, cumin, and cinnamon, and stir to coat the onions evenly with spices.
• Add tomatoes with their juices, and the chickpeas, stir to combine.
• Add ½ cup water and raise heat up to a strong simmer for about a minute or two.
• Next, add the fresh spinach, a couple handfuls at a time, stirring to coat with cooking liquid.
• When all the spinach is added to the pan, cover and simmer until just wilted, about 3 minutes.
• Add the cooked sweet potatoes to the liquid, and stir to coat.
• Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, or until flavors are well combined.
• Transfer to serving dish, toss with fresh cilantro, and serve hot.
• This dish is nice served over basmati or brown rice.
