Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas
- 1/2 loaf rustic bread
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 to 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon harissa paste, more for later
- 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
- 2 green onions, trimmed and chopped (both white and green parts)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine chickpeas with their liquid and cover with water by about 1 inch.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover partially, and simmer for about 30 minutes or until chickpeas are very tender.
- Preheat the broiler and arrange torn bread pieces on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and broil until golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, a pinch of salt, cumin, coriander, and paprika. Cook until onions are translucent.
- Transfer the onion mixture to the saucepan with chickpeas. Stir in 1 tablespoon of harissa paste, salt, juice from 1 lemon, parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Slice the remaining lemon into wedges. In serving bowls, place toasted bread at the bottom, ladle the chickpea stew on top, drizzle with olive oil, dollop with harissa, and garnish with parsley and green onions. Serve with lemon wedges and extra bread.
Notes
Ensure to watch the bread carefully while broiling to avoid burning.
Feel free to adjust the amount of harissa based on your spice preference.
