Chickpea Stew with Pistachio Pesto 600 x 900

Have you ever had pesto in a stew? It’s delicious, especially in my Chickpea Stew! Pesto, made of freshly ground basil and nuts, is a delicious way to nourish yourself with minerals, antioxidants, and protein.

The detoxifying aspect of my Chickpea Stew with Pistachio Pesto comes from omitting the cheese, extra oil, and even the garlic (which can be agitating). You will start feeling so amazing as you go along your continuous detox journey toward lightness that you won’t even miss those ingredients in this dish.

My Chickpea Stew is so hearty it makes a fantastic main course. Serve with brown rice, preferably sprouted, and you will feel nice and satisfied.

Ingredients

1 cup shelled pistachios
1 cup fresh basil leaves plus more for garnish
1/4 cup olive oil
3/4 tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup sliced celery
4 cups 32 ounces vegetable broth
2 cups cooked chickpeas drained and rinsed
sea salt to taste
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Make the pesto. Combine the pesto ingredients together in a food processor or mortar and pestle. Process or mash together, retaining some chunky texture.
To make the stew, combine the onion, carrots, celery, and vegetable broth in a large pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, and cook for about 15 minutes, until the veggies are soft. Add the cooked chickpeas and 1/2 cup of the pesto, and simmer over low heat for an additional 10 minutes. (Save the rest of the pesto to use as a veggie dip
it will keep for 5 days refrigerated in an airtight container. We just have to make a larger amount to ensure easier blending.)
Ladle the stew into 2 bowls and enjoy!
