Tips:

  • Soaking the chickpeas: Soaking the chickpeas overnight or for at least 8 hours is essential for softening them and reducing their cooking time. Make sure to drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly before cooking.
  • Using fresh fennel: Fresh fennel adds a distinct anise-like flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh fennel, you can substitute it with 1 teaspoon of fennel seeds.
  • Cooking the chickpeas: You can cook the chickpeas in a pressure cooker or in a regular pot. If using a pressure cooker, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If cooking in a regular pot, bring the chickpeas to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour or until tender.
  • Sautéing the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in olive oil enhances their flavor and adds depth to the dish. Make sure to cook the vegetables until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Adding the chickpeas and spices: Once the vegetables are cooked, add the cooked chickpeas, cumin, coriander, and paprika. Stir to combine and cook for a few minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
  • Adding the tomatoes and broth: Add the diced tomatoes and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the tomatoes have softened and the flavors have melded.
  • Adding the greens: Finally, stir in the chopped greens (such as spinach, kale, or chard) and cook until they are wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Conclusion:

Garbanzos with fennel is a simple yet flavorful dish that combines the goodness of chickpeas, fresh fennel, and aromatic spices. It is a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or as a side dish. Whether you are looking for a healthy and satisfying meal or a comforting dish to warm you up on a cold day, this recipe is sure to hit the spot.
