Mediterranean Chickpea Stew is a delightfully flavorful slow cooker recipe that will satisfy your craving for a hearty soup or stew.
Mediterranean Chickpea Stew is a vegan meal-in-one.
Mediterranean Chickpea Stew With Vegetables and Artichokes is heart-healthy goodness.
January is National Slow Cooking Month and this Mediterranean Chickpea Stew recipe is a superior slow cooker recipe. It is a bit tangy, full of flavor, and packed with deliciousness. The potatoes, carrots, and other vegetables make it very hearty.
I like my stews with more liquid than some people do, so I don't drain the tomatoes. I add the juice to the stew. I also use my homemade vegetable stock instead of store-bought stock, and if I don't have any, I add vegetarian bouillion and water in place of it.
The original recipe comes from Robin Robertson's Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker. Robertson's recipes are always superior. She has several cookbooks on the market and I own three of them. Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker is my favorite (I absolutely love it!), but I like Vegan Planet and Fresh from the Vegan Slow Cooker a lot, too. Get yourself at least one of these cookbooks.
What You Need
For this recipe, you will need a slow cooker or an Instant Pot. I have both and I tend to use the slow cooker for recipes that require long, slow heat. You will also need measuring cups and spoons, a knife, and a cutting board. Always buy the best tools you can afford and you will never be sorry.
