Squash, Chickpea & Red Lentil Stew

Modeled on North African stews, this aromatic vegetarian main course


can be served over brown rice or steamed spinach.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup dried chickpeas
2 1/2 pounds kabocha squash (see Note) or butternut squash, peeled,
seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large onion, chopped
1 cup red lentils
4 cups vegetable broth
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon saffron (see Note)
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped


DIRECTIONS
Soak chickpeas in enough cold water to cover them by 2 inches for 6
hours or overnight. (Alternatively, use the quick-soak method: Place
beans in a large pot with enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a
boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 hour). Drain
when ready to use.

Combine the soaked chickpeas, squash, carrots, onion, lentils, broth,
tomato paste, ginger, cumin, salt, saffron and pepper in a 6-quart slow
cooker.

Put on the lid and cook on low until the chickpeas are tender and the
lentils have begun to break down, 5 to 6 1/2 hours.

Stir in lime juice. Serve sprinkled with peanuts and cilantro.
