Pea Stew

Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften and brown. Add garlic, cinnamon, smoked paprika and pepper and stir for another minute until onions are coated.

Add carrots, tomato sauce and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to simmer, cover and cook until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Add peas and cook for another 10 minutes until heated through.

Add lemon juice and ½ cup cilantro. Mix everything well and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt.

Serve with rice, quinoa or another grain of your choice. Garnish with remaining cilantro or additional lemon juice or diced jalapenos.
