How to Make Apricot Chick Peas

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic.
  3. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon of water, if needed, to prevent sticking.
  5. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 1 cup dried apricots (chopped), 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/4 cup chicken broth.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the apricots are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve warm over rice or couscous. Enjoy hot or cold!
