This started out as Moroccan-Style Lamb Stew but my husband will not eat lamb and I am trying to reduce the fat in our diets. I made this last night and it really worked well.
Ingredients:
1 cup chickpeas
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup red wine
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions
3 -5 garlic cloves
28 ounces diced tomatoes or 4 cups fresh tomatoes
1/2-1 teaspoon turmeric
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4-1/2 teaspoon ginger
Directions:
1. Cover chick peas with water and cook (about 1 hour, add water if needed).
2. Add wine to raisens and let soak 1 hour to all day.
3. After chick peas are cooked, saute sliced onions and garlic in olive oil for 5-10 minutes.
4. Add chick peas, raisens in wine, tomatoes and spices.
5. Simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
6. Taste after 1 hour and add spices if needed.
7. Serve over rice.
