How to Make Indian Spiced Chickpeas And Red Peppers

  1. Drain one 15-ounce can of chickpeas, reserving 1 cup of the liquid.
  2. In a blender or food processor, puree 1 cup of the drained chickpeas with the reserved liquid until completely smooth.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent and the garlic is golden, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder.
  6. Add the chickpea puree, 1 red bell pepper (chopped), 1-2 jalapeños (finely chopped, remove seeds for less heat), and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  8. Add the remaining chickpeas, cover, and simmer until the peppers are tender, about 5 more minutes.
  9. If the stew is too thick, thin with a little water or more reserved chickpea liquid to reach your desired consistency.
