Description
Chickpea stews with flavors similar to this one are often made in ethiopia using ground roasted chickpeas or even split peas. Here, the method is simplified but the stew's sweet, fragrant spice mixture, which ethiopians call berbere, remains. If you're in a hurry, omit roasting the chickpeas and simply add them to the stew after they've been rinsed and drained(if you leave this out, you're missing out!). This recipe was inspired by a whole planet foundation microcredit client who runs a chickpea roasting business. This stew is spicy, so start out with the lowest amount of cayenne. Some people have skipped the spice ingredients and just added 2-3 tsp. Storebought or their own homemade berebere spice.
