Ingredients

    1T EVOO
    1T coconut oil
    1 large shallot, chopped
    8 garlic cloves, minced
    2 tsp (~1-inch piece) fresh ginger, chopped
    26.5 oz canned chopped tomatoes (1 box Pomi)
    1 bay leaf
    2 tsp ground cumin
    1 tsp ground coriander
    1 tsp turmeric
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    1/4 C chopped fresh parsley
    Juice of 1/2 lemon
    1 15 oz can chickpeas, drained
    S + P, to taste

Directions

In a large skillet, heat the oils. Add the shallot and cook over medium-high heat until translucent, ~3-4 mins. Reduce to medium heat and add the garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, ~2 mins. Add the tomatoes, stirring to combine. Followed by the bay leaf, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne, again stirring to combine.

Simmer over low-medium heat until thickened, ~10 minutes. Add the lemon juice and chickpeas, continuing to simmer until the chickpeas are softened and flavors are combined (~7-8 mins). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve alone in a bowl, or over spaghetti squash (or actual pasta).
