Vegan Pumpkin-Chickpea Stew

                               

For a long time I did'nt like to prepare dishes with pumpkins because I hated to cut them (realy a hard work and one need a very sharp knife...) and because I tought that I had also to peel them, what meant that it tooked a quite long time to prepare the dish. But I discovered that very often it is not necessary to peel the pumpkin. So the workload is reduced to cut the pumpkin..... And now I love dishes with pumpkins. The following recipe is one adpated from Haya Molcho and is apart the cutting of the pumpkin really quick prepared.


You need (serves 3-4 persons):
500 g Pumpkin (Hokkaido or butternut or wich one ever you may like) It does'nt matter if you take a little bit more or less....
1 Cinnamon stick


2 bay leaves 
400 g chickpeas ( I used canned one, ready to be prepared)
140 g tomatoe puree
1 Onion, cut in slices
1 garlic glove, cut in slices
1 organic Lemon, cut in small rounds
4 crushed pimento
500 ml water

To prepare:
1. Wash your pumkin and then cut your pumkin in wedges.


2. Heat up in a deep pan some olive oil and cook the onion until lightly brown then add the garlic and continue cooking for a minute.
3. Now add all the other ingredients and stir well



4. Heat up all and then let simmer for about 20 minutes (until the pumpkin is soft but still ) in your pan covered with a lid, stir from time to time


5. Take out the cinnamon stick, the bay leaves and the lemon-pieces and season wirh salt and pepper
