Sweet Potato and Chickpea Goulash with a Dill Tahini Sauce

Goulash is a beautiful traditional Hungarian dish made with tons of paprika. Think of it as a super tasty stew that’s slightly sweet and 100% satisfying.
Ordinarily it includes meat but for this plant-based version, chickpeas and sweet potato are combined. Top with the dill and tahini sauce for a flavour contrast and extra nutrients.
