Today's Ingredients As the chill of fall sets in, what sounds better than the comfort of a steaming bowl of stew? Chickpeas and pumpkin combine forces in this cozy autumnal recipe. Fragrant sage adds earthiness while chickpeas bring a subtle nutty flavor and an impressive nutritional profile. Ladle up this aromatic, harvest-hued stew and savor a spoonful of seasonal comfort with a protein boost. But first, let's take a closer look at some of those ingredients:   • Filling, nutritious chickpeas are popular for a reason   • Pumpkin is more nutritious and versatile than you think   • 12 surprising sage benefits Bon appétit, Tim Snaith Newsletter Editor, Healthline   Written by Tim Snaith October 22, 2023 • 2.5 min read Recipe of the Week Warm up with this seasonal chickpea pumpkin stew Positively packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, chickpeas have been valued for their nutrition since ancient times. And research shows they can help manage weight and blood sugar and benefit digestion. Chickpeas also contain saponins and phytonutrients that may protect against chronic illnesses. When buying canned chickpeas, seek low sodium options and give them a thorough rinse before use. If you have time, a more affordable option is soaking dried chickpeas overnight and then simmering them on the stovetop until tender. Canned pumpkin also makes this stew quick and easy if fresh pumpkin has disappeared from the shelves. The sage can be fresh from the garden but if that's not an option, boost the flavor with just a pinch of dried. Either way, it pairs nicely with the other ingredients. Meanwhile, olive oil aids absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamin A. For extra creaminess, blend some of the stew and then stir it back in. Serve in a bowl and garnish with parsley for a pop of color. 🎃 Bonus Halloween season round: If you have leftover pumpkin, we have a bunch of recipes like pumpkin butter, pumpkin bread, chili, and even ice cream here.
