This warming stew builds deep flavor from a base of softened onion and garlic, bloomed with cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, and a touch of cayenne for gentle heat. Diced tomatoes simmer down into a thick, rich base, while two cans of chickpeas add hearty texture and plant-based protein that holds its own in every spoonful. A handful of baby spinach wilts right in at the end, and a finish of fresh lemon juice brightens the whole pot before it's ladled into bowls. Crusty bread on the side makes it a satisfying, complete meal without any need for meat. It's a cozy, pantry-friendly dinner that fits neatly into a vegetarian kitchen, easy to batch and even better the next day.

Add the garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, and cayenne. Stir constantly until fragrant, about 1 minute, watching closely so the garlic does not brown.
