• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Carrot - 1 medium, diced
• Zucchini - 1 medium, diced
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, diced

Steps

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the diced carrot, zucchini, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
3. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the cooked chickpeas, vegetable broth, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
5. While the vegetable stew is simmering, tear the whole wheat flatbread into bite-sized pieces. Place the pieces in a serving bowl.
6. Once the stew is ready, pour it over the torn flatbread, ensuring the bread absorbs the flavorful broth.
7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately.
