How to Make Chickpea Cassoulet With Tomatoes And Chard

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound of pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. While pasta cooks, sauté 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, and a pinch of saffron threads in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until onions are softened, about 8 minutes.
  4. Add 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 1/2 cup chickpea liquid, and 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water if the mixture becomes too dry.
  6. Meanwhile, steam 1 bunch chard (about 1 pound) until bright green and tender. Remove from heat, chop coarsely, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. In a large oven-safe casserole dish, combine the cooked pasta, chickpea-tomato mixture, and chopped chard.
  8. Stir in 4 ounces of crumbled soy cheese (or 4 ounces of cubed edam cheese).
  9. Toss until everything is well combined.
  10. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  11. Serve immediately, garnished with extra grated cheese if desired.
