Chickpea Stew
When I was a kid, my grandmother would make this delicious stew that she would Garbanzo (chickpeas) Guisada. It was so delicious and so simple to make. It was that stew that my love for Chickpeas began.
Chickpeas are a great source of protein and fiber. This stew not only tastes good, but you feel good eating it. I prefer eating it without rice nowadays, you know, since Iām not a kid who can eat anything without it showing in my waistline š.
