Directions
- 1. Make the spice mixture: Mix cinnamon, cumin, salt, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, turmeric, and curry powder together in a bowl.
- 2. Make the stew: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft and just beginning to brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in kale and spice mixture; cook and stir until kale begins to wilt and spices are fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- 3. Add broth, garbanzo beans, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, lentils, apricots, and honey; stir to combine and bring to a boil.
- 4. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for 30 to 40 minutes. Cover the pot and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- 5. When ready to eat, remove from the refrigerator and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until vegetables are tender and stew is heated through, about 25 minutes. Season with black pepper. If a thicker stew is desired, dissolve cornstarch in water. Stir mixture into stew and simmer until thickened, about 5 more minutes.
