How to Prepare Spanish Chickpea and Sweet Potato Stew [Vegan]

In a deep saucepan, heat olive oil up. Fry sliced onion and garlic on low heat till onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add tiny diced sweet potato to the pan and stir to coat in olive oil.
Add ground cumin and harissa paste to the pan, and stir/cook for a minute or two to toast the spices off. After 2 minutes, pour in can of crushed tomatoes into the pan, along with drained chickpeas and 1/2 cup of vegetable stock. Stir well.
Add sugar and maple syrup to pan, stir well, and cover pan with a lid. Let simmer, on low to medium heat, for about 25 minutes, or until sweet potato has softened.
During hat 25 minute simmering time, stir the stew every 10 minutes or so to prevent scorching at the bottom of the pan.
Once sweet potato is softened, add baby spinach into the pan, cover with a lid for a minute to let spinach wilt, and then uncover and stir spinach in.
Taste, and season appropriately with salt and pepper.
Serve with a side of brown rice, and top stew with toasted slivered almonds and chopped parsley.
