Chickpeas and Tomatoes
The official name for this recipe is so plain it’s pitiful: “Chickpeas and Tomatoes”. Our family name for it is “Broken Hand Goulash”. A few years ago I tore ligaments in my right hand and, out of necessity, my meal preparation had to become greatly simplified. My son would open a few cans of chickpeas and a can of tomatoes and I would saute some onions and peppers. Combine in a pot and voila- Broken Hand Goulash. Served with brown rice and some steamed green beans- it’s a delicious and satisfying meal.
But here we are again with a recipe with a less-than-appealing name. Who wants to try a recipe called “Chickpeas and Tomatoes”. So- I’m soliciting your help again. If you make this recipe (and I really hope you do- it is so SIMPLY DELICIOUS) and during dinnertime conversation a good title comes up for it, please pass it along- okay? Thanks! (And thanks to all who sent along some excellent name suggestions for my brownie/fudge recipe).

Hi Kim, we love this recipe! My daughter and I were just cooking it together when my son came in and said “what are we having?” She said “Chickpea Delight!” Thought that was a good name if you haven’t found one yet! My son is reading the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe and we were talking about turkish delight- I think that is where she came up with the name! Question- do you drain the chickpeas in this recipe? Thank you so much for all your delicious quick and easy recipes, we are so blessed by them!!! Car
Yes, I drain the chickpeas before adding. Thank you for reminding me to put this in the instructions. Great title suggestion too!
