A quick and budget-friendly version to satisfy last-minute cravings. If you don’t have leftover stew with meat and chickpeas, you can get almost the same result using ingredients you probably already have at home. This is one of my favorite meals 🥰

Steps

30 minutes
  1. 1

    First, shred the chosen meat (I use chicken from a broth) and set aside. Meanwhile, cut the potatoes into cubes and heat oil to fry them.

  2. 2

    In a deep skillet with a layer of oil, sauté the onion, bell peppers, and garlic. After a few minutes, add the tomato sauce and stir. Then add the teaspoon of sweet paprika and cook for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Return to the large skillet and add the cayenne pepper. Stir a couple of times, then add the chickpeas and stir again. Now add the spices (bay leaves, ground cumin, oregano, and thyme). Let everything cook together for a couple of minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the meat, then pour in the white wine. Increase the heat to high until the alcohol evaporates. Once it has evaporated, add the 1 1/2 cups of broth (homemade, store-bought, or from your stew or pot roast).

  7. 7

    With five minutes left, remove the lid, add the potatoes, and finish cooking uncovered. And you’re done. Enjoy!

Soy periodista y amante de la gastronomía. Me encanta cocinar, experimentar y probar. Soy una aficionada.. y a veces algo loca con mis experimentos culinarios. Aprendí viendo a mis abuelas entre cacerolas, y de mis padres, cada uno con su peculiar estilo. Acoso a preguntas a mis amigos cocineros y leo y visualizo recetas para adaptarlas siempre a mi gusto. Busco cocinar de la forma más saludable, pero sobre todo, enamorar los paladares de mi familia y amigos. Este es un trocito de mi en mi cocina. Espero que les guste!
