Ingredients

  • 2 c soaked chickpeas
  • water at about 1/5 inch-- about 3 c
  • favorite seasonings
  • 2 tbsp. chickpea flour
  • about 2 tbsp. popped amaranth (not necessary-just for added nutrition)
  • sautéed onions and watercress
  • the grapeseed oil
  • cilantro
  • fresh cut plum tomatoes
  • tomatoes
  • quinoa

Directions

  1. Sauté the onions and watercress in a little grapeseed oil. Add the tomatoes and cook briefly.
  2. Place the soaked chickpeas, water, seasonings, chickpea flour, amaranth, and sautéed vegetables in the slow cooker.
  3. Cook on high for about 4 hours, until the chickpeas are tender. Stir in the cilantro and serve over cooked quinoa.

Tip

Cut the vegetables into similar-size pieces so they finish cooking at the same time.
