I got this recipe from the Basque lady who was my landlady at my first apartment, back in 1963. She was a wonderful cook. She and her husband would butcher a pig in their driveway once a year and make Basque chorizo, which was pure heaven!
Ingredients
- 3 cups garbanzos (chickpeas)
- 1 quart water
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 minced onion
- 1/2 chopped green pepper
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 cups canned tomatoes (or 1 quart home-canned)
- 1 tsp. brown sugar
Directions
Soak the garbanzo beans overnight in the water. Add salt and simmer 1 hour. In another pan, mix the remaining ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes. Mix garbanzos and sauce in a covered oven-proof 2 quart pan or dish and bake 1 1/2 hours at 325 degrees F. Sometimes you have to add a little water. Serves 8 for about $2.50.
