Servings 5 People

Equipment

• 1 Large Nonstick Frying Pan with Cover

Ingredients

  

• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 Onions (medium size, peeled and diced)
• 3 Zucchinis (medium size, peeled and sliced into semicircles)
• 3 Carrots (medium size, peeled and sliced into semicircles)
• 1 cup Pumpkin (cut into small pieces)
• 2 Bell Peppers (medium size, cut into cubes)
• 3 Celery Stalks (sliced)
• 1 1/2 cups Chickpeas (precooked)
• 1 tsp Salt (adjust to taste or health requirements)
• 1/8 tsp Ground Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp Sweet Paprika
• 1 tsp Turmeric
• 1/2 cup Water

Instructions

 

Preparing The Vegetables

• Peel and dice the onions.
• Peel the zucchini and carrots. Slice into semicircles (1/4 inch – about 1/2-centimeter thick).
• Peel the pumpkin and cut into small pieces.
• Cut the bell peppers into small cubes.
• Thinly slice the celery.
  

Sautéing The Vegetables

• In a large nonstick frying pan, sauté the onions in olive oil until golden brown.
  
• Add the zucchini to the onions and continue to sauté until golden. The pan may be partially covered to speed the process. Stir from time-to-time.
  
• Add the carrots and sauté until they begin to tenderize.
  
• Add the pumpkin and sauté until golden.
  
• Add the celery and peppers and continue to sauté until golden.
  
• Add the spices and water. Mix well and cover the pan. Let the vegetables simmer for 5 minutes.
  
• Add the precooked chickpeas.
  
• Continue to simmer, stirring from time to time, until all the vegetables are tender.

Notes

The vegetables are purposely added in stages to let each vegetable sauté. They release natural juices, so very little water is needed. The end result is worth the effort.
