Garbanzo Stew
By Mary McDougall
This is another of our old favorites, made with inexpensive pantry staples. Make it on the stove or in a slow cooker. Garbanzo beans require a long cooking time to be really tender, so plan accordingly.
Serves: 10
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 240 min
Ingredients
2 Cups
Uncooked garbanzo beans (chick peas)
8-10 Cups
Water
2
Potatoes, chunked
2
Carrots, thickly sliced
2 Stalks
Celery, thickly sliced
2
Onions, chopped
1 Tbsp
Low-sodium soy sauce (optional)
Directions
1
Soak the garbanzos overnight in water to cover. Drain. Place the garbanzos and 8 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for 2 hours. Add remaining ingredients and cook an additional 2 hours, adding more water if necessary.
Hints: To make in a slow cooker (Crock-Pot), combine the soaked, drained beans with the remaining ingredients (use only 8 cups of water) and cook for 8-10 hours on high.
