  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

– 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

– 1 1/2 cups finely chopped white onion

– 1 1/2 cups chopped zucchini

– 1 1/2 cups yellow squash

– 1 cup chopped mini sweet peppers

– 1 8-ounce package baby bella mushrooms, sliced

– 2 tablespoons minced garlic

– 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

– 1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes

– 2 cups vegetable broth

– 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

– 3 tablespoons lime juice

– 2 teaspoons ground cumin

– 1 teaspoon chili powder

– 1 teaspoon kosher salt

– 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1-First, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and add the onion, zucchini, yellow squash, sweet peppers, and mushrooms. Stir them until they’re tender, which takes 5 to 8 minutes, building a flavorful base.

2-Next, add the garlic and cook for another minute to release its aroma.

3-Then, stir in the chickpeas, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, cilantro, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let everything simmer for about 5 minutes until hot, then reduce the heat and cook on low. For a personal touch, I like to taste and adjust the seasoning at the end it’s that simple tweak that makes the dish your own.
