Moroccan Garbanzo Beans With Raisins image

I love this combo of beans and squash for its well-balanced flavors. It is also fast and inexpensive (YAY!). Plan ahead & precook dried garbanzos for even greater frugality. Any number of winter squash work well here. We are eating the last of our Long Island Cheese squash we stored over the winter in the garage. It is a large tasty squash that keeps well & works in savory as well as sweet dishes. This recipe came as an email from Bear on [gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-world]. Leftover roasted squash works well in this recipe. Serve with rice to provide complete protein and a nice side of kale for a healthy economical fast meal.

This recipe was a disaster! The garbanzo beans were hard and the raisins were burnt. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it needed more spices or maybe some fresh herbs.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less cayenne pepper.

This recipe is a winner! The garbanzo beans were so tender and flavorful, and the raisins added a nice pop of sweetness. I served it with some crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.

This Moroccan garbanzo bean dish was a delightful culinary adventure! The combination of sweet raisins, savory spices, and tender chickpeas was a flavor symphony in every bite. I especially loved the subtle tanginess from the preserved lemons.
