How to Make Spicy Crock Pot Chickpeas

  1. Dice 1 medium onion and mince 2 cloves of garlic.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced onion, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add the minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar and 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Transfer the onion-tomato mixture to your slow cooker.
  6. Add 2 (15-ounce) cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed. Stir well to combine.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the chickpeas are tender and the sauce has thickened.
  8. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot with warm naan or pita bread.
