Saffron Steep

Soaking saffron threads in warm liquid unleashes essential oils and natural color, ensuring balanced flavor throughout the simmered stew.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 2: Add diced onion and garlic; cook for 4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Step 3: Stir in ground cumin and ground ginger; sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4: Add sweet potato cubes, drained chickpeas, vegetable broth, and bloomed saffron with its soaking liquid.

Step 5: Bring liquid to a simmer, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and turn heat to low for 20 minutes until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 6: Season with sea salt to taste and serve warm.
