- 1 medium Zucchini, chopped
- 1 cup Cauliflower, riced

- 2 cups Spinach, fresh
- 1 teaspoon Cumin, ground
- 1 teaspoon Paprika

Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic, celery, and red bell pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 more minutes.
Stir in the chopped zucchini and riced cauliflower, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the chickpeas, fresh spinach, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the stew thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
