Harissa Braised Garbanzo Stew

Garbanzo beans, aka chickpeas, add a protein-rich boost to this tasty and satisfying vegan stew. Here, they’re sautéed with fennel, onions, and garlic, and then braised in a rich tomato sauce seasoned with harissa and smoked paprika. Over top there’s Italian-seasoned tri-color bell peppers, tender pearl onions with parsley, and a garnish of pine nuts. To complement the stew, there’s a savory polenta with whole corn kernels and scallions.
