POTAJE DE GARBANZOS (CUBAN GARBANZO BEAN STEW)



Potaje de Garbanzos (Cuban Garbanzo Bean Stew) image

This is my take on a super-comforting Cuban meal my dad has made for years. It is a great way to use pantry ingredients and can be served with white rice for an even heartier option. Don't be afraid to make a big batch -- the sweet and smoky flavors get better the next day!

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, medium diced
1 green pepper, medium diced
1 packet (1 1/2 teaspoons) Sazón seasoning mix with saffron
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons vino seco (see Cook's Note) or sherry cooking wine
Two 15-ounce cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and large diced
6 ounces Spanish chorizo, casing removed and chorizo cut into small chunks
White rice, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a medium heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, green pepper, Sazón seasoning, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper. Cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot occasionally, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly darker in color and thickened, about 1 minute. Add the vino seco to deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits with a wooden spoon.
  • Add the garbanzo beans, potatoes, chorizo and 5 cups of water. Turn the heat up to high and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, then cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the chickpeas are very soft, about 20 minutes. Once the potatoes have softened, use the back of a wooden spoon to crush some of them against the side of the pot to thicken the stew. Serve the stew over hot rice, if desired.

PASTA E CECI (ITALIAN PASTA AND CHICKPEA STEW)



Pasta e Ceci (Italian Pasta and Chickpea Stew) image

There is an incredible number of recipes for this classic Roman dish, and everyone has an opinion on how it should be prepared. This version is more stew than soup, but it can be loosened up with a bit more water if you prefer. It begins with sautéing onion, tomatoes, garlic and rosemary in olive oil, then tossing in the chickpeas, and smashing a few to give the stew a creamy texture. Water is added, then uncooked pasta, which cooks as the stew simmers (and results in one less dish for you wash). Escarole is folded in right before serving. This flexible stew can go in a number of directions, so tweak it as you see fit, but don't forget to finish each bowl with grated pecorino and a drizzle of olive oil. Ciao.

Categories     dinner, weekday, soups and stews, appetizer, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 packed cup canned whole tomatoes, drained
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed
1 cup ditalini
4 cups roughly chopped escarole, Tuscan kale or radicchio
Grated pecorino, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not taking on any color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary and red-pepper flakes, and cook 1 minute more. Season well with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the tomatoes and the chickpeas, breaking up the tomatoes with the back of a spoon or spatula and smashing about 1/2 cup of the beans.
  • Add 3 cups water and bring to a boil over high. Add the pasta and simmer, stirring often to make sure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan, until the pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes. The water will mostly be absorbed by the pasta, but if you prefer it brothier, you can add 1/2 to 1 cup water and simmer until warmed through, 1 minute more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Add the escarole and stir until wilted. Taste and adjust seasonings accordingly. Ladle into bowls and top with grated cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.

WILTED ESCAROLE AND GARLIC-FRIED GARBANZO BEANS



Wilted Escarole and Garlic-Fried Garbanzo Beans image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

Olive oil, for frying
8 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced about 1/8-inch-thick (1/4 cup)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups cooked garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
2 heads escarole (about 2 1/2 pounds), cored and roughly chopped
1/2 lemon, plus lemon wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Fill a heavy-bottomed saucepan with 1 inch of oil. Heat to 350 degrees, checking the temperature on a deep-fry thermometer. Add the garlic, and fry just until it starts to turn golden, about 10 seconds. Remove with slotted spoon, and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
  • Working in small batches, add the garbanzo beans to the oil. Fry until golden and crusty, 2 to 3 minutes. As you are frying, check the temperature of the oil with the deep-fry thermometer, and adjust the heat as necessary to keep it between 325 degrees and 350 degrees. Using a slotted spoon, remove the garbanzos to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm in the oven. Remove the pan of oil from the heat, and set aside.
  • To wilt the escarole, place about 3 tablespoons of the reserved oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch-oven over medium-high heat. Add as much escarole as will comfortably fit in your pan and toss with tongs until wilted. Then start adding the remaining escarole a handful at a time and keep tossing until all the escarole is wilted. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan, and cook for a few minutes more, until the escarole is tender, about 8 to 10 minutes altogether. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the escarole on a platter, and squeeze lemon juice over. Scatter the fried garbanzos over the escarole, and top with the fried garlic. Garnish platter with lemon wedges.

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Salt and black pepper
7 ounces (1/2 can) garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron
1 cup thinly sliced escarole (about 1/2 head)

Steps:

  • Warm the oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste; cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the beans, broth, 1/4 cup water, thyme, and saffron, and bring all to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Remove half of the stew; purée it in a blender or food processor. Return the purée to the pot. (Alternatively, you may use an immersion blender briefly to purée the stew directly in the pot.) Add the escarole. Simmer for 5 minutes until the escarole is tender, adding more water if the mixture is too thick.

Tips:

  • Soaking the beans overnight helps to reduce cooking time and makes them easier to digest.
  • If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by bringing them to a boil in a large pot of water. Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor and nutrients.
  • Add some herbs and spices to your stew. This will help to enhance the flavor.
  • Serve your stew with a side of bread or rice.

Conclusion:

Garbanzo bean stew with escarole is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a warm and comforting meal, give this stew a try.
