Garbanzos & Tomatoes

Directions

1.  Wash, sort, and pre-soak garbanzo beans* the night before.

2.  Chop the garlic, onion, tomatoes, and red pepper. Set each aside separately. Drain the beans.

3.  In a large pot, add water and beans. Heat over a medium-high flame until almost boiling.

4.  Add garlic, onion, and olive oil to the water just before it boils. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 1 hour (or until beans are almost tender).

5.  Add tomatoes, peppers and desired salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the garbanzo beans are tender.

 

Notes: A healthy vegetarian entree, this dish is best served with rice* and/or tortillas**.
