Greek Chickpea Stew
This plant-based Greek Chickpea Stew (Revithia) is a hearty one-pot meal made with chickpeas, onions, tender vegetables, and rich tomato passata, all simmered in olive oil and paprika. It’s naturally vegan, budget-friendly, filling without being too heavy, and perfect for meal prep. Serve it over fluffy rice with fresh dill and a crisp cabbage salad for a simple yet nourishing plant-based dinner that delivers big Mediterranean flavor with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 1 cup olive oil
- 2 large white onions diced
- 4 carrots diced
- ½ small head of cauliflower finely chopped
- 6 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 4 cans of chickpeas
- 2 cans of passata about 1200ml
- 4 cups of water
- 2-3 tsp salt to taste
For Serving
- Rice
- Fresh Dill
Cabbage Salad
- 2 cups of shredded purple cabbage
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Finely dice the onion, carrots, and cauliflower (a veggie chopper makes this quick and easy).
- Add the vegetables to the pot along with a generous pinch of salt and cook until softened, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and paprika and cook for 1 minute, allowing the spices to toast and become fragrant.
- Add the chickpeas, passata, and water, then season generously with salt to taste. If the stew tastes flat, it likely needs more salt and/or olive oil—both help bring out the flavors.
- Bring the stew to a gentle simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, allowing the flavors to fully develop.
- Serve immediately or freeze for later using freezer cubes.
- I love serving this with rice and a simple cabbage salad. For the salad, just add all ingredients to a bowl and toss to combine.
- This stew tastes even better the longer it sits, making it perfect for meal prep.
