Disclosure: I was given a spice kit from RawSpiceBar to create this recipe.
The Fall season will be here before you know it and it will be time to pull out the sweaters, coats and those soup and stew recipes that keep us warm during the colder months. This chickpea stew will not only keep you warm but the flavor the Jamaican Jerk seasoning from RawSpiceBar gives it will make you want seconds and maybe even thirds.
RawSpiceBar offers a variety of spices that are high quality and fresh. You can purchase individual spices for a variety of cuisines or you can sign up for their spice of the month club where you receive new spices every month.
