Recipe Directions

Directions

Smoky Red Pepper & Chickpea Stew
  • On the open flame of a gas burner, char eggplant and red bell peppers. Rotate and cook until soft. Roughly 8 minutes a side for the eggplant and 4 minutes a side for the peppers.
  • If you don't have a gas range or care to try this, just roast veggies in the oven (or grill) until soft and charred.
  • Place veggies in a bowl and cover. Allow to cool. Remove burnt skin from eggplant and peppers.
  • Place eggplant in a colander over a bowl and allow liquid to drain as you prepare the rest of the dish.
  • In a frying pan over medium-high heat, cook onion in oil until soft and translucent.
  • Roughly chop eggplant and peppers and add to pot.
  • Add tomato sauce, salt, pepper and bay leaves. Cook on medium until mixture begins to bubble. Stir often. Reduce heat and simmer on low for two hours. Stir occasionally.
  • Remove bay leaves and pulse with an immersion blender, so there are no large chunks (you still want a little texture).
  • Add chickpeas and cook for a few minutes until everything is hot.
Mashed Potatoes
  • Add quartered and peeled Yukon gold potatoes to a pot, cover with water, and add salt. Bring to a boil and cook for roughly 20 minutes, until easily pierced with a fork.
  • Drain, add remaining ingredients to pot and mash (or use mixer) until potatoes reach preferred consistency.
To Serve
  • Serve chickpeas atop mashed potatoes. Sprinkle with hemp hearts and top with micro greens. Enjoy!
