SPICY MANGO CHICKPEA STEW




It’s hearty, tangy, spicy, what’s not to love. It’s great in summer and winter, just the colours make you happy. A quite unusual combination of flavours, but they go so well together. This is the easiest recipe you’ll find in a long time.
Don’t be put off by the sweet of the mango in combination with the chickpeas. As always, I don’t measure my spices, I add until I have the right flavour, sometimes it’s a bit more garlicy or spicy than the other. But for your benefit I have put some measurements here, which you can obviously adapt to your own taste. Add some herbs as well, coriander goes pretty well with this dish.
You can use fresh or canned mango, depending the time of year, the same goes with the tomatoes. I’m using cooked chickpeas, if you want to use dry chickpeas, don’t forget to soak them overnight.
It tastes even better the day after!
