Pursuing value is an important part of all of our busy lives. Negotiating the value of time, the value of cold hard currency and solidifying the value time spent with loved ones is how we framework most days.

We’re living in a cost-benefit analysis sort of world, when trading one item or activity for another because of the difference in perceived or real value is the means by which most or all decisions are carried out.  Which task is more pressing, what leads to a more significant outcome, what can I put off for the fifth day in a row? And is my favorite yogurt on sale?

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon Grapeseed Oil
  • 1 large White Onion chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 28-ounce can Diced Tomatoes
  • 2 15-ounce can Garbanzo Beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 cup Vegetable Broth low sodium kind recommended
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
  • 1 tsp Coriander Seed
  • 2 tsp Fresh Ginger ground or fresh
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 Leaf Bay Leaf
  • 6 oz Baby Spinach
  • Brown Rice for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, sauté the onion over medium heat until it begins to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add all of the ingredients except for the spinach and stir to combine. Cover and bring the pot to a boil.
  • Once a full boil is reached, lower the heat to medium low and allow the stew to cook at a gentle boil about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the cover from the pot and add all of the spinach. It’s okay if the pot is very full at this point; the spinach will cook down.
  • Put the cover back on and allow the spinach to steam about 30 seconds to 1 minute before stirring it into the stew to incorporate it.
  • Cook an additional 2 minutes then serve over cooked brown rice.
