Introduction

Inspired by the full-flavored vegetable stews of Spain, this earthy fare satisfies the stomach and warms the soul. Don't worry if some of the potato slices break up during the cooking; they'll just and to the country feeling.

Ingredients

    1 lb swiss chard, tough stems removed, leaves washed well and chopped
    3 Tbs olive oil
    1 1/2 lbs baking potatoes (about 3), peeled and sliced 3/4" thick
    1 onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 tsp paprika
    1/4 tsp tumeric
    1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
    1 tsp salt
    2 cups drained and rinsed canned chickpeas (one 19 oz can)
    3 cips canned low sodium chicken broth or homemade broth
    1 cup water
    4 hard cooked eggs, cut into wedges
    2 Tbsp cornstarch
    2 Tbsp water

Directions

FOR CHARD:
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chard and cook for 3 minutes. Drain thoroughly and set aside.

FOR POTATOES:
In a dutch oven, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the potatoes and onions and saure, stirring frequently, until the potatoes start to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, paprika, tumeric, cayenne, and salt and cook, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.

TO SERVE: Add the cooked chard, chickpeas, broth, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Mix in a cup the cornstarch and 2 Tbsp water and add to broth to thicken slightly. Serve the stew garnished with the hard cooked eggs on top (2 wedges/serving).
