I was looking for something unusual to cook and found a recipe for “Chickpeas Stewed with Vegetables.” This was such a simple and delicious side dish. However, I ate it as a self-sufficient dish; my husband also served the meat for himself. It’s not at all difficult to prepare: I soaked the chickpeas overnight and cooked them in the morning. By the way, 40 minutes was enough for me, I tried it, and it was already so tender! I took tomatoes in their own juice, mashed them with a fork and added them instead of juice. Spices include oregano and a mixture of freshly ground peppers. It turned out very tasty! I recommend this recipe, don’t pass it by, enjoy cooking! Many thanks to the author!
