Ingredients

• INGREDIENTS
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or olive oil

• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon pressed or minced fresh garlic (about 5 cloves)
• 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger (about a 1-inch piece)

• 1½ teaspoons ground coriander
• ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
• ¾ teaspoon fine-grain sea salt

• 1 can (28 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes, with their juices
• 2 cans (14 ounces each) chickpeas (or 3 cups cooked chickpeas), drained and rinsed

• Lemon wedges, for garnishing
• Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnishing (optional)
