Chickpea and Bulgur Stew
Last night I thought I'd like to make something today with chickpeas (garbanzo beans), so I put 1/2 cup in the crockpot (not turned on) with water to let them soak over night. This morning I turned it on high, and after a few hours they were softened. I added 3/4 cup bulgur. When the water was pretty much absorbed, I put the stew in a saucepan, and heated it on low. I added 2 cups of my tomato sauce. And that's it. I thought I might sauté a bunch of vegetables and add them, but the taste is so perfect just as it is, I decided not to. There are already onions, garlic, and tomatoes in the sauce. I just love this stuff, and have been 'tasting' it all day. There's bread rising in the oven right now to have with it for supper.
This looks delicious, I often use chick peas but never thought of mixing them with bulgur, what a good idea, this recipe will be turning up chez moi very soon.
ReplyDeleteYour heading photos seem to just get more and more lovely, that blue is quite wonderful.
I hope you still have power in the midst of the storm.

It is just so good! I'm surprised there's any left for supper. :<) Thank you - I've been lucky with the pictures. The deer are amazing. 6:12 pm power still on!
ReplyDeletethe stew looks great and I can smell the bread!!
ReplyDeletehere's hoping that you don't lose your electricity!! The storm missed us but dropped about 4 inches of the white stuff on us. I'd much rather have that than ice!!
Thinking of you!
I agree with C.B. It looks very delicious. I've never cooked chick peas or bulgur wheat but now you've got me curious. It must be very healthy, too.
ReplyDeleteThat stew looks perfect for a snowstorm. Hope you survived unscathed
