Steps

45 min

1

Dice up the onion, garlic and bell pepper
2

Add your oil to a warmed saucepan, spread around if preferred for even coating (I used avocado)
3

Once the oil is toasty, add your choice pepper, onion, garlic and sea salt and stir until brownish or about 3-5 minutes
4

Add the tomatoes (with their tomatoey juices), the tomato paste, the chili garlic sauce, the peanut (or almond) butter, coconut milk, and the rinsed and drained chickpeas. Stir it up to combine.
5

You can now add water to desired thickness — about 1-2 cups.
6

Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and cover it. Continue cooking the stew until slightly thickened and fragrant — your kitchen will smell AMAZING. This is about 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on it and turn the heat down if it’s boiling — you’re looking for a low simmer not a mess 😅

Have some rice at the ready! Combine, add spoon and enjoy, friends.
