This week I have been experimenting with dried garbanzo beans/chickpeas in the Instant pot. They’re cheap and healthy and don’t take as long as other dried beans to cook. I made a chickpea and chicken curry that was good, but being the extremely picky perfectionist that I am, I only want the BEST recipes up on here (which might explain why every recipe is my new favorite!) I love the big bold flavors of this stew. The tanginess of the tomatoes, the freshness and acidity of the lemon, and the spices of the chorizo remind me of eating paella in Valencia. I love Spanish flavors, and I love the ease and simplicity of this dish! I hope you love it too.
