West African Vegetable Stew
from Campbell's Kitchen

Prep Time: 15 min. Cook Time: 30 min.

1 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 cups sliced onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb. sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/4" half-slices
1 large tomato, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 can (10 1/2 oz.) Campbell's(R) Condensed Chicken Broth
1/2 cup water
1 can (about 15 oz.) chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
4 cups coarsely chopped spinach

Directions:
 HEAT oil in skillet. Add onion and garlic. Cook until onion is tender.
 ADD potatoes and tomatoes. Cook 5 min. Add raisins, cinnamon, red
pepper, broth and water. Heat to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat 15
min.
 ADD chickpeas and spinach. Heat through. Serve over cooked rice or
couscous, if desired. Serves 6.

Kitchen Clip:
Fresh spinach needs to be carefully washed to remove all the sandy grit
that hides in the leaves. Soaking the spinach leaves in a bowl of cold
water, changing the water a few times, should remove all the grit. To
save time, you can purchase pre-washed spinach in the produce section of
the grocery store.
