Vegetarian Chickpea Stew Recipe
Chickpea, dried beans, rice and salad are one of the indispensable menus during the winter. I like chickpeas one degree more than dried beans. In fact, rice with chickpeas is much more delicious than chickpea dish, in my opinion.
Chickpea dish is very nutritious as well as being a savior answer to the question of what to cook for dinner. It is a good source of protein, especially for those who do not eat meat. Unlike what I do, there are those who boil the chickpeas first and strain the water. However, it is very important that this water is not thrown away in order to use the nutrition of chickpeas to the fullest.
Rice pilaf is much more delicious with it, yes, I agree. But since bulgur is a much better fiber source than rice, I recommend you to choose bulgur pilaf instead of rice pilaf. Bulgur should also be our first choice in the rice group, as it is a very rich food in terms of B vitamins.
