Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 pint cherry tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste, divided
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 ½ teaspoons smoked paprika
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
¾ teaspoon ground coriander
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
ground black pepper, or to taste
1 (15.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chiles
1 (15.5 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 cups water
1 ½ cups uncooked quinoa
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon hummus spread
1 tablespoon water
¼ teaspoon white vinegar
2 green onions, sliced
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Spread cherry tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over tomatoes and toss to coat evenly.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until tomatoes blister and pop and skins start to char, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Cook until fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. Add tomatoes and green chiles; bring to a boil. Reduce stew to a simmer and add chickpeas. Add the cherry tomatoes and their juices. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • While stew simmers, bring 3 cups water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Mix Greek yogurt, hummus, 1 tablespoon water, and vinegar together to make the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the stew over quinoa. Top with the yogurt sauce, green onions, and cilantro.
