Spiced Chickpea and Spinach Stew

with Bocconcini and Garlic Naan

Difficulty: 1/3
Turkish

This spiced chickpea stew is inspired by the classic Shakshuka – a Middle-Eastern dish that commonly features eggs in a simmered, savoury tomato sauce. We've given ours a HelloFresh twist by swapping out eggs for creamy bocconcini cheese!

Preparation
1
Prep

Before starting, preheat your broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce.Heat Guide In Step 3 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1 tsp mild, 1/2 tbsp medium and 1 tbsp spicy! Core, then cut the peppers into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop parsley. Roughly chop spinach.

Toast naan

While stew broils, cut naans into quarters, then arrange on a baking sheet. Stir together remaining garlic and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Brush garlic oil over naan. When stew is done, toast naan in the middle of the oven until lightly golden-brown, 2-3 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on naan so they don't burn!)
