How To Make Easy Vegetarian-Friendly Spanish Chickpea Stew

This Spanish chickpea stew will warm your belly on cold winter days. It is so easy to make, requiring one pot and 30 minutes of your time. Vegetarian-friendly too!

Here are a few ingredient substitutions you can make for variety or personal preferences:

• instead of chickpeas, use red or white kidney beans
• instead of zucchini, use parsnips
• instead of passata, use tomato puree

Homemade sourdough bread would go well with this stew too.
