Chickpea Slow Cooking Goodness
To go along with the seasonal cooking mentioned yesterday, I made an Indian flavored chickpea meal in the slow cooker for tonight.
Last night I prepared the meal and this morning before heading out in the frigid snowy morning, I through it in the cooker for the day.
End result.....amazingness in our mouths.
The day went by alright, but had to take the car in for a scheduled maintenance issue that took two hours. When the car was ready, a blizzard had made it's way her in the Inland Northwest. Mixed with having low visibility in the dark, my drive home was very slow and intense.
So it was especially nice to come home with dinner cooking itself!
Recipe below!
