I remember the first time I made this Savory Pumpkin Chickpea Stew on a chilly autumn evening.
It was one of those days when the leaves were falling, and I wanted something cozy and comforting.
The combination of pumpkin and chickpeas not only nourishes but also fills the home with such a delightful scent.
Plus, it's a great way to sneak in some veggies while feeling like you're indulging in a delicious bowl of goodness!

Recipe Variations

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Just reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. I love enjoying it as is, or even over a bed of quinoa for a heartier meal!
