I am obsessed with soup and stew. It is my favorite thing to make and perfect for the colder weather. My latest stew recipe is this Gochujang Chickpea and Rice Stew with kale.
This stew is spicy and so flavorful. I combined the spicy asian flavors of korean gochujang paste with warming herbs of thyme and rosemary. Chickpeas provide protein and rice adds healthy carbs. This stew is so good and perfect for meal prep because it makes multiple servings that can be kept for days.
