SLOW-COOKER CHICKPEA TAGINE

Slow-Cooker Chickpea Tagine image

While traveling through Morocco, my wife and I fell in love with the complex flavors of the many tagines we tried. Resist the urge to stir this dish too much, as it will break down the veggies. Add shredded cooked chicken in the last 10 minutes, or serve with grilled fish. -Raymond Wyatt, West St. Paul, Minnesota

HOW TO MAKE DRIED CHICKPEAS IN A CROCK-POT

How to Make Dried Chickpeas in a Crock-Pot image

It was a garage sale bargain I couldn't resist. So after all these years, I am first using a crockpot--and one of the first things I made was this--and these chickpeas are outrageously good. No more canned chickpeas for me.

Time 3h5m

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

2 cups dried garbanzo beans
6 cups water
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

Rinse and drain chickpeas in cold water. Pick out any stones and dark brown chickpeas.
Put drained chickpeas into your crock pot. Add water and salt.
Cook on High for 2-3 hours or until soft. Depending on your tastes and what you are going to use them for you can remove when slightly firm or cook until they are very soft.
When done, carefully pour into a colander, being careful to use oven mitts to handle the crock - it will be hot. Drain and rinse well.
Chickpeas will keep for about 2 days in the fridge. They will keep longer if made into hummus. They also freeze quite well.
To freeze chickpeas rinse and drain them thoroughly. Leave to drain well for about 15 minutes. Spread chickpeas onto a baking tray, making sure they don't touch one another. Put into freezer. When frozen, you can transfer the chickpeas to a freezer bag or plastic container for more permanent storage.
