Spanish Chickpea Stew
By Rusty H., J. H., Sage M. and Donnie B. from Skyline High School, Oakland, CA.
Description
One look at this hearty stew will make your mouth water for its mild spicing of cumin and paprika, the heartiness of the chickpeas, the soothing taste of the spinach, and the sweetness of the golden raisins. The flavors of this stew are well balanced by the slight acidity of the tomatoes, creating a warming main dish when served over rice or couscous.
