Savory Garbanzo Beans

[Guest guest]

You don't have to bake this recipe. You can just simmer it on low, in a

covered pot instead of baking it. Also you can substitute canned beans for

this. If you do, use 2 -16oz cans. We love this. When I take it to

potlucks, I never have any left and lots of requests for the recipe. It

has been a while since I made this, since I had misplaced my book. Thanks

Donna for typing up the recipe from her book, so I could make it again. We

had it for lunch.

 

Savory Baked Garbanzo Beans

1 cup dried garbanzo beans

pinch of soda

3 ripe tomatoes

1 large, fresh green pepper

1 onion

2 to 3 Tbs olive oil

2 cloves garlic, chopped fine

3 leaves of basil, Chopped or 1/2 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp. tarragon

parsley

salt and pepper

 

Soak the beans in water overnight with a pinch of soda.

The nest day, drain and rinse the beans and cook them for about 1 hour.

Remove the skins from the tomatoes by dipping them for an instant into very

hot water and then peeling them. Chop the tomatoes into fairly large

pieces.

Slice the green pepper in very thin matchstick pieces. Peel and quarter and

thinly slice the onion.

Throw all of these thin slices into a pan with some hot olive oil, add also

the chopped garlic,

and let it saute for a few minutes. Add some crushed sweet basil, a small

amount of crushed tarragon,

and the chopped tomatoes. Let this mixture simmer for a minute or two while

you drain

the beans and remove the skins that have come loose. Finally combine the

beans with tomato mixture, put it all

into an attractive, ovenproof dish, cover tightly, and bake for 1 hour at

about 325 degrees.

This makes 4 to 6 servings, and is also delicious cold.

Bet these would cook perfectly in a crockpot too!

Thanks for sharing this recipe.

When one begins to purposefully perform acts of kindness,

the spirit changes and soon doing good deeds becomes a focal

point for our life; doing good begins to be the same as

feeling good. The periods of emptiness when we search for

the " meaning of it all " begin to fill with acts of kindness.
