This Chickpea Stew<\/strong> couples the sweet, deep flavor of meltingly tender onions and fennel with the bright, vibrant acidity of tomatoes. You top it off with fresh herbs and briny, crumbled feta cheese. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's also mercifully light on your grocery budget and mercifully simple to make. Plus, you can find the ingredients in just about any grocery store.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chickpea<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I love the vibrant play of sweetness against acidity, especially in savory dishes. Even more, I'm always looking for simple and FAST, flavor-forward meals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this chickpea works so well. That's because the intense flavors of slowly cooked onions and fennel coupled tomatoes offer a nice complement to the muted flavor of chickpeas. Dishes made from chickpeas, like socca<\/a> or hummus<\/a>, really benefit from flavor-forward companions like tomatoes, chilies or lemon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This stew makes a fairly light meal, so serve it with a big salad and a hunk of crusty no-knead sourdough bread<\/a>, or alongside slow-roasted chicken<\/a> for something more substantial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
