• 1 red pepper, chopped

• 1 tsp Spice & Dipity Smoked Paprika Blend

• ½ tsp ground cumin

• 1 tin (400g) chopped tomatoes

• 1 tin (400g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 200ml vegetable stock

• Salt & pepper to taste

• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

🍋 Ingredient Substitution Tips

• No red pepper? Use courgette, carrots, or whatever’s in the fridge.

• Out of chickpeas? Swap for lentils, white beans, or kidney beans.

• Want more heat? Add a pinch of Spice & Dipity Chilli Flakes.

• No stock? Water with a dash of soy sauce or tomato paste works in a pinch.

🔪 Method

1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.

2. Add onion, garlic, and red pepper; cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.

3. Stir in the Smoked Paprika Blend and cumin — toast for 30 seconds to unlock that smoky aroma.

4. Add tomatoes, chickpeas, and stock. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

5. Cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and saucy.

6. Taste, season with salt and pepper, and serve topped with parsley.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Serve your stew over fluffy rice, creamy mash, or with warm crusty bread for dipping. It’s also brilliant spooned into a wrap with a little yoghurt and lettuce for lunch the next day.
