Chickpea and Rice Stew

Adapted from www.eatingwell.com

This stew is so delicious and filling, even without meat. It was one of my favorite meals of the week.

Start by thinly slicing two onions. Slowly brown them over medium-low to medium heat for 20 minutes. Add about two teaspoons each of ground cumin and coriander. Then add 1 cup of orange juice, 2 cups of chicken broth, 2/3 cup brown basmati rice, 2 cans chickpeas (drained and rinsed), and about 3 cups of peeled and diced sweet potatoes. Salt and pepper to taste; bring the stew to a boil and then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes - 1 hour. Add more liquid if you want a thinner consistency.

Simple and oh-so-good. Enjoy!
