Spanish Chickpea & Potato Stew | Heartwarming FEEL-GOOD Recipe

[@Kameshwari108]

Today, I fully am fully understanding the use of crushed toasted bread with garlic and parsley. It has always been obvious that the bread would help thicken stews or soups, but to see the way the garlic and parsley marries into the bread, just shifted my understanding of the alchemical magic that happens. Plus, it is a good use for the last few slices of bread that have been hiding in the kitchen. Big appreciation for all of the tech tips that I learn at Spain on a Fork.

[@marioncapriotti1514]

Yes, this is a perfect way to use the small round heels of boule-shaped loaves of bread, which could otherwise go to waste. I store them in the freezer for just this kind of recipe!

[@SpainonaFork]

Much love :)

[@Kameshwari108]

@@marioncapriotti1514 Thanks. Excellent tech tip.

[@SomePotato]

If you are out of bread, or just a bit lazy, you can also just take out a cup or two of chickpeas and potatoes a few minutes before the stew is down, mash it and throw it back in. Don't forget to add the garlic and parsley as well though!

[@Kameshwari108]

@@SomePotato Excellent technical tip.

[@glorianelson9538]

My grandmother was born in Spain and she would make a lot of the dishes you prepare, like this one that I remember from my childhood. Love that your recipes are super healthy and use mainly fresh, simple ingredients that one can get easily. Thank you!

[@SpainonaFork]

Much love :)

[@andywilson5509]

This is absolutely delicious! It is packed with flavour and the thickened stew is a wonderful touch! One of my favourite chickpea dishes. Thank you Albert for sharing all your tasty recipes!

[@SpainonaFork]

Happy to hear that! Much love :)

Me gusta como cocinas tan simple y tan delicioso, no se necesita comprar nada etraordinario para hacer un buen plato.

Muchas gracias! Saludos :)

I'm a homesteader and author in Kansas. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I could tell you make this often. I'm excited to try it! ❤

[@SpainonaFork]

Hope you enjoy! Much love :)

[@heidipatterson5137]

Just made this one and it's delicious! Have never done the fried bread + garlic + parsley in a mortar and pestle and it made such a difference in the stew consistency. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

[@SpainonaFork]

Glad you liked it! Much love :)

[@lilyan7590]

Cant wait to try this and especially the toasted bread, garlic and parsley! Great way to first try out my pestle and mortar. I could watch your channel for hours! Thank you 🙏

[@leemariesanchez6033]

Using my abuelita's big, more than 100 yr old metal mortar and pestle from Spain for this, know she would've been so pleased to see your channel!🙏

[@SpainonaFork]

Hope you enjoy! Much love :)

[@rm709]

Came back to thank you for this recipe, it was dinner topped with a fried egg last night, then made a breakfast burrito filled with the mixture, scrambled eggs, and italian cheese. Toasted and devoured. Delicious!

[@marioncapriotti1514]

Dang, that breakfast burrito idea is making me hungry. Thank you!

[@SpainonaFork]

Sounds great! Much love :)

[@SCCL1000]

Thanks for this simple & tasty soup recipe. It's rainy, damp and cool weather here in CT. I just now began soaking my dry chickpeas & will prepare this dish tomorrow---the weather is to me the same.....

[@SpainonaFork]

Sounds great! Much love :)

[@francescabelanger5525]

I really like your technique of adding the bread-and-garlic paste, which is totally new to me. Looking forward to trying this.

[@SpainonaFork]

Hope you enjoy! Much love :)

[@saami9606]

Perfect time to make this cos of autumn

[@SpainonaFork]

Yes! Much love :)

[@MiMi-kx1vy]

I could never figure out how my Abuela thickened this soup. She made it all the time. I have been experimenting with smashing up a potato and a few other things. And now the mystery is solved! Cannot wait to try this with the bread and garlic paste. My Abuela also would also make other versions of this soup. One with chorizo and another with kale and ham. I am hungry now.

[@SpainonaFork]

Hope you enjoy! Much love :)

We still have these traditions in Puerto Rico from Spain!

Also great cold the next day as potato chickpea salad 👍

[@SpainonaFork]

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Good morning Albert, this looks so good. I think the potato will compliment the chick peas then they will not taste so starchy. Another good healthy dish full of flavour. Thank you for sharing. Kind regards.

[@SpainonaFork]

Thanks for the comment! Much love :)

[@marioncapriotti1514]

The chickpeas are very high in protein, and the potatoes round out the nutrition. This plus a salad makes the perfect meal!

[@DownButNotOutYet]

@@marioncapriotti1514 Morning Marion, thank you for your comment, it is always good to know somebody else has eaten this food therefore it is good. It looks very nutritional. Albert's recipes are so quick and easy. Go well, take care. Kind regards.

[@themikekren5564]

I don't eat much bread, but I have a lot of rice leftover in the fridge, I make this with dry roasted rice in a frying pan as a thickener, it works really well, I guess the thing is used whatever you have in your pantry that's left over... don't let anything go to waste!

[@marioncapriotti1514]

Gee, that is a great idea. Sounds delicious, and the texture of the dry roasted rice would be very nice as a thickener.

[@SpainonaFork]

[@joerglasch8255]

That's similar to our german recipe too. Stews are very well known in Germany. For dinner, I'll cook a stew with our own lentil as the main ingredient and onions, garlic, carrots, leek, fennel, and bacon. Seasoned sweet and sour.

[@SpainonaFork]

Sounds great! Much love :)

[@kimberlymbutler]

What sweet and sour do you use?

[@joerglasch8255]

@kimberlymbutler here in the south of Germany we are used to add sugar and vinegar to lentil dishes.

[@welshtoro3256]

This is great Spanish but you did a type of this a couple of years ago too. I'm eating this tonight but mine has some bacalao and saffron in it which really turns it into a classic.

Pretty much what I cook when I can´t think of what to eat. I start with that base and just add the potatoes and whatever vegetables I have on hand. If I have a frozen portion of skinless-boneless chicken thighs, I might add that. Probably will do this recipe tomorrow. Have some carrots and spinach I need to use. I wish I had some Red Argentinian shrimp, as I´m always slightly disappointed when I use any other type. But with the price of Olive Oil, and seafood, got to cut back somewhere.

[@SpainonaFork]

Hope you enjoy! Much love :)

[@kennielsen3896]

Thanks, was good. In addition to what I mentioned I put in 1/2 cup rice, 14 oz can of white beans, and a 3 pieces of roasted red pepper.@@SpainonaFork
