How to Make Swiss Chard Potato And Chickpea Stew

  1. Bring a medium pot of salted water (about 6 cups) to a boil. Add 1 pound of Swiss chard and cook for 3 minutes until wilted.
  2. Drain the chard thoroughly and set aside.
  3. In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
  4. Add 1.5 pounds of diced potatoes and 1 medium onion (chopped) and sauté, stirring frequently, until the potatoes start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  6. Add the cooked chard, 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 3 cups of vegetable broth, and 1 cup of water.
  7. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare 1 cup of whole-wheat couscous according to package directions (usually involves boiling water and letting it sit).
  9. Serve the stew over a bed of couscous. Garnish with fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) if desired.
