Chickpeas with Meat is a very traditional and common dish in Turkey, especially when it is served with pilaf and pickles. Turkish people just love this dish ...want to use dry chickpeas(garbanzo beans), you ll need to soak the chickpeas in water overnight and then add chickpeas with beef stews while you are cooking, so chickpeas will become tender.

.2 cups chickpeas |
1/2 lb beef/lamb meat, chopped |
2 onions, chopped |
2 tbsp oil |
1 tbsp tomato paste |
1 dried red pepper/green pepper, chopped |
1/2 tsp baking soda (optional) |
1/4 tsp chili red pepper flakes (optional) |
1 tbsp salt to taste |
1 cup hot water |
Directions:
1. Wash chickpeas place them in a pot and cover with water Leave them in water overnight or for at least 12 hours. The next day, cook them with the same water till chickpeas get soft over low heat. You could add baking soda to have softer beans quicker. When they are soft, add 1/2 tbsp of salt.
2. In a dutch oven sauté chopped meat with oil till they are brown. Then add onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes over medium heat. Stir in peppers and tomato paste.

4. P.S: You can also use 2 cans of white beans and skip the instructions given in the first paragraph, but it may not be as delicious as the one with dried beans.
