Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; cook the onion and garlic in the hot oil until the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes.

Add the potatoes, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and raisins to the pot. Pour enough water over the mixture to cover; bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add the chickpeas and kale to the pot; simmer until the kale wilts, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cilantro over the stew and immediately remove the pot from the heat.

MOROCCAN GARBANZO BEANS WITH RAISINS
I love this combo of beans and squash for its well-balanced flavors. It is also fast and inexpensive (YAY!). Plan ahead & precook dried garbanzos for even greater frugality. Any number of winter squash work well here. We are eating the last of our Long Island Cheese squash we stored over the winter in the garage. It is a large tasty squash that keeps well & works in savory as well as sweet dishes. This recipe came as an email from Bear on [gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-world]. Leftover roasted squash works well in this recipe. Serve with rice to provide complete protein and a nice side of kale for a healthy economical fast meal.

MOROCCAN-STYLE STUFFED ACORN SQUASH
Vegetables, garbanzos, raisins and couscous in a lovely Moroccan broth taste delicious inside butter and brown sugar-brushed acorn squash. You can experiment with different vegetables, or add diced chicken. Feel free to be creative with your amounts - I usually freestyle and end up with leftover stuffing mixture, which tastes great on its own the next day. For vegetarians, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth.

- Add vegetables to the chickpeas, such as carrots, celery, onions, or tomatoes. This will add nutrition and flavor to the dish.
