ANTI-INFLAMMATORY CURRY CHICKPEA STEW (made with shelf-stable ingredients)

By: Carlyn Rosenblum MS, RD   |  Founder + CEO, MTHR Nutrition

We recently did a live cooking class with our incredible dietitian, Carlyn Rosemblum of MTHR Nutrition and our friends at Klaviyo. While we are all cooped up indoors these days, we are craving soothing, immune-boosting recipes that can be made easily and feed the whole family.

This chickpea curry is one of our favorite weeknight recipes! Not only is it warming and comforting dish, but it is loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients that help to support a healthy stress response and immune system.  

A few of the immune-supporting ingredients:
  • Curry powder: Contains the anti-inflammatory spice Turmeric that helps to give the immune system a little boost
  • Chickpeas: Contain the mineral Zinc that helps boost immunity
  • Red Pepper: Contain Vitamin C—an antioxidant that helps to fight inflammation
  • Spinach and Broccoli: Dark leafy greens are rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals needed to keep the body healthy and strong. They also are loaded with antioxidant phytonutrients!
