Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons of exquisite extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 8 mushrooms, halved and finely sliced
  • 4 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 yam, carefully peeled and cut into cubes
  • 2 teaspoons of aromatic ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons of fragrant ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon of flavorful onion (nigella) seeds
  • 1 teaspoon of bold black mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon of spicy chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon of rich paprika
  • 1 teaspoon of vibrant ground turmeric
  • A half head of cauliflower, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 can (15 ounces) of drained chickpeas
  • A half teaspoon of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to your liking
  • Three-fourth cup of nourishing vegetable stock
  • 1 tablespoon of concentrated tomato paste
  • 3 cups of freshly harvested spinach, coarsely chopped
  • A bunch of aromatic fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • The juice of a zesty lemon
  • The juice of a tangy lime

Step 1

Begin by heating up some oil in a spacious skillet set over a medium flame. Toss in the onion and sauté until it turns translucent, which should take around 5 minutes. Next, introduce the mushrooms and garlic, cooking them until they become softened, approximately 2 minutes. Now, it's time to add the yam to the mix and let it cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 2

Sprinkle in a medley of aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, onion seeds, black mustard seeds, chile powder, paprika, and turmeric, making sure to stir well for about 2 minutes until everything is evenly coated. Follow this up by adding cauliflower, chickpeas, salt, and black pepper, ensuring all the ingredients are nicely combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, blend together vegetable stock and tomato paste before pouring this flavorful mixture into the skillet. Cover the skillet and allow the yam to tenderize, which should take roughly 15 minutes. To finish off, gently stir in some fresh spinach, parsley, a splash of lemon juice, and a squeeze of lime juice, letting the flavors meld together for about a minute. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
