Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation

Method

-------- ------------

--------------------------------

1/2 cup dried chickpeas

1 1/2 pounds Swiss chard -- rinsed, stems

discarded, leaves coarsely chopped; or 1 1/2 lbs.

spinach, rinsed, tough stems removed, and large leaves

chopped

2 cups water

1/4 cup olive oil

2 small white onions -- finely chopped

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt -- to taste

pinch cayenne pepper -- or pure New

Mexican chile powder

few grinds of black pepper

 

Place the chickpeas in a colander and rinse under cold

running water; pick over for damaged beans and small

stones. Transfer to the slow cooker (it must be large

enough so that there is plenty of room for the

chickpeas to bubble without spilling over). Cover with

3 inches of water and soak 6 to 12 hours.

 

If using Swiss chard, blanch the chopped leaves in

boiling water for 3 mins.

 

Drain the chickpeas, add the 2 cups water, cover, and

cook on High until just tender, 3 to 3 1/2 hours. The

chickpeas need to be covered with liquid at all times

to cook properly.

 

In a small skillet over medium-high heat the olive

oil, then cook the onions, stirring, until almost

golden and browned around the edges, about 8 mins.

 

When the chickpeas are tender, add the onions and oil,

the wilted chard (dripping with water is fine) or raw

spinach, tomato paste, salt, cayenne, and black

pepper. Cover and continue to cook on High for another

1 1/2 hours. Serve hot.
