Middle Eastern Chickpea Stew

Totally RAVE worthy recipe, but I don't think I'll make it again...it was hearty and tasty enough but (a) I thought it was too tomato-ie, and (b) Scott wasn't feeling the "Middle Eastern" flavor- every time he'd see it, he was expecting it to taste like chili, but it didn't. :-) So if you like tomatoes and curry-ish flavor, this recipe is for you!! :-) Tasted okay topped with cheese and with oyster crackers...

From The Big Book of Vegetarian by Kathy Farrell-Kinglsey

Veggie broth or water

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 medium red bell pepper, chopped (I used what I had - a little bit of a green pepper)

3 cloves garlic, minced

½ tsp ground cumin

½ tsp dried oregano

2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped (I used a 14-oz. can diced tomatoes instead)

3 TB chopped fresh cilantro

3 TB chopped fresh parsley (I used 3 tsp dried instead)

3 TB tomato paste

2 cups Veggie Broth

2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

2 15-oz cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained

Salt and pepper to taste

In a large, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, saute (with veggie broth or water) the onion, bell pepper, garlic, cumin, and oregano. Cook, stirring often, until the veggies are soft but not brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the chopped tomatoes, cilantro, and parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the mixture has thickened, 5 minutes.

Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.Stir in the broth and bring to a boil over high heat.Stir in the potatoes. Reduce the heat and simmer for 6 minutes. Stir in the chickpeas and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
