Note
Storage: Let the stew cool completely before transferring to airtight containers. It can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.
Substitutions: You can substitute winter squash with butternut squash, pumpkin, or sweet potato. Canned chickpeas are fine, but rinsing them well removes excess sodium and starch.
Variations: For extra protein, add a handful of white beans. To make it creamier, blend half the stew before serving or stir in a splash of coconut milk.
Tip: Taste before adding extra salt, as the tomato juice and canned beans may already contain sodium. Adjust heat level by varying the amount of hot pepper sauce.
