Start by thoroughly cleaning the chicken intestines under running water. Remove any excess fat and set aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the red bell pepper, carrot, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Add the cleaned chicken intestines to the pot and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes until they are cooked through and begin to brown.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Season the broth with turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir to combine.
Cover and let the stew simmer over low heat for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
After 20 minutes, add the fresh spinach and stir into the stew until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped parsley.
Serve hot with a side of whole-grain bread or brown rice for a complete meal.
