I love cooking up stews because they actually taste better as leftovers, so this stew makes it on my list of “make it now and eat it later” recipes. All those awesome flavours blend together creating a wonderland of yumminess. Enjoy it with a salad, rice, pasta or polenta on the side. So much goodness in every bite!
Heat avocado oil in large saucepan; add onion and sauté for 1 minute. Add garlic and sauté for another minute.
Add canned tomatoes, coconut milk, Italian seasoning, lemon, salt and pepper. Stir well. Turn down heat to low and place lid on pot. Let cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add chickpeas, zucchini and spinach. Continue to cook until zucchini is tender and spinach wilted. Add grape tomatoes and cover with lid again. Stir occasionally. Cook until skin of tomatoes are fork tender.
Turn off heat and let sit for 5 minutes to allow flavours to develop.
