  • black pepper to taste - I did about 25 turns
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup cilantro - finely chopped (mint or basil would be a good sub)
  • 1 tbsp miso paste (make sure to break up so it dissolves) - could sub soy sauce

+ optional sides of vegan yogurt and rice

Instructions

  1. Heat coconut oil in a soup pot over medium low heat. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, ginger and chickpeas. Cook for 5 minutes. Partially mash the chickpeas so they release starch. Add in squash and cook for another 5 minutes.
  3. Add all remaining ingredients besides the bok choy. Stir until fully combined. Turn the heat up to medium and simmer for 15-20 minutes until butternut squash is cooked through.
  4. Turn off the heat and add bok choy into stew. Stir until fully wilted, this will take about 3 minutes.
