    Alison Roman's Viral Chickpea Stew
    Alison's original recipe: • Alison Roman's Interne...
    Helen's Version of #TheStew
    Serves 8
    1 Lb dry chickpeas, cooked* or four 15 oz cans
    3 Tbsp olive oil
    2 yellow onions, diced
    2 garlic cloves, sliced
    3 tsp Spanish smoked paprika
    2 tsp cumin
    2 tsp coriander
    2 tsp turmeric
    1-2 cups canned diced tomatoes or 1-2 Tbsp tomato paste
    1/2 cup dry white wine
    3 red bliss potatoes, peeled, and cut into large dice
    1 bay leaf
    1-2 Lb of chopped collard greens (no stems)
    1/4 cup heavy cream
    3 Tbsp butter
    1 Tbsp pomegranate molasses or 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
    Salt to taste
    If using dry chickpeas, here are 2 good ways to cook them. You'll need to do that a day before making the stew.

    Set a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil, onions, and salt. Cook stirring occasionally until the onions are completely translucent, tender, and brown. Add the garlic and the spices and cook stirring until aromatic, about a minute.
    Add tomatoes, wine, potatoes, bayleaf, and chickpeas with their cooking liquid. If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them and add enough water to cover all the ingredients.
    Bring to a simmer. Cook covered for 30 minutes on a very gentle simmer. Stir in the collard greens, simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Regulate the heat during the cooking time so that the stew simmers gently. When potatoes are perfectly tender, stir in the cream, butter, pomegranate molasses and salt to taste.

    Hi, Helen. Can I just say, I adore your hairstyle and Iove the way you break down every recipe - slow, methodical and so very detailed but still so entertaining. I have discovered your channel lately and have become addicted. To me, you have become sort of a female version of Chef John, you know, from the Foodwishes. Stay happy and safe in these trying times. Looking forward to watching many more of your videos in the future. Love from India 💕

    I've got to make this recipe this week. I made something sort of along the same lines a week ago but it was a chicken cassoulet using cannellini beans, canned chickpeas and canned diced potatoes (all I could find was canned) I added tomato paste, lemon juice and a few other things. I popped it into the oven and it came out great. So now I'll have to continue on w/ the chickpeas in this soup.

      Chick Peas a.k.a. Garbanzo Beans make fabulous and I do mean FABULOUS fritters!
      FIRST 3 INGREDIENTS
      1- 15&1/2 ounce can of Chickpeas Drained but NOT RINSED!
      1/2 Cup of Sliced Scallions (about 4) Use the White and the Green parts
      1/3 Cup of Chopped Cilantro (If you absolutely HATE cilantro you CAN SUBSTITUTE Basil or even Parsley or a Basil-Parsley Combo)
      NEXT 3 INGREDIENTS
      1/3 Cup All Purpose Flour
      1 Large Egg
      1 Teaspoon of Sea Salt
      Place the first 3 Ingredients in your Food Processor to Combine and PULSE to COMBINE ⚠️ Please do not over chop it! (It should look like mud/paste)
      NEXT add the Remaining 3 Ingredients (Flour, Egg & Salt) Once again PULSE ONLY UNTIL COMBINED!
      Transfer all of your mixed ingredients into a bowl .
      In a large Frying Pan heat 1/4” of Olive Oil on a Medium-High Flame ⚠️ You want your oil hot but not smoking! You do not need a thermometer 🌡 To Test just take a “Pea Sized” amount of your chickpea mixture put it in the frying pan and see if it bubbles.
      Take about 1/4 Cup of the Mixture and form a “ Ball”, put it in the frying pan then take your spatula dip it in the oil and then flatten out your “Ball” into a Disk. ***You’re dipping your spatula in the oil first, so the spatula does not stick to the top of the chickpea mixture. You’re going to cook each side about two minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
      Once their cooked... Place on Paper Towel or Brown Paper Bag.
      Dress your Chickpea Fritters with Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice.
      Helpful Hints: DO NOT overload your frying pan with fritters because, you will bring the temperature of the oil down! Resulting in greasy and soggy fritters!
      P.S. I always double or triple this recipe, I make the “fritter patties” then freeze them. Just defrost and fry whenever you’re in the mood for something yummy.
      I hope this helped you expand your Chickpea Repertoire. I personally prefer calling them, “Garbanzo Beans”. I just think Garbanzo is a funny word so is the word “Piccadilly”. 😂🤣😊

      You can also add a potato if you want it to be a little starchy instead of soupy. Bring it all to a boil, turn the heat down to a simmer and let it simmer away for 30-40 minutes until the lentils are done.

    Kudos for taking your flavor profile the direction of a Cocido Madrileño-albeit this is an easier recipe and method of serving. One extra idea from such a cocido I'd recommend: serve with some piparras/guindilla peppers. Perfect for a snap of spice and bright acidity when eating. (And if one's market is stocked thin, some pickled pepperoncini peppers will work in a pinch.)

    Thanks for the recipe. It reminds me of a traditional Spanish recipe called "Potaje de vigilia". It's typical to eat it during Holy Week, specifically on the Good Friday and its main ingredients are chickpeas, spinach and cod. Often it is serve with has hard-bolied egg as a topping.

    • @AnnaEmilka
      @AnnaEmilka Před 2 lety

      What does "vigilia" mean? We have the same word in Polish (spelled with w instead of v) and it means "a day before something". Most commonly it's used to name the 24th of December, as the day before Christ's birth, but it can be used in any other context as well.

    • @dhoneybeekingdom7889
      @dhoneybeekingdom7889 Před 2 lety +1

      @@AnnaEmilka ​ Hi! I asked my mom and grandma (however, the Holy See surely has a more precise explanation 😅). I'll try to let you know my general idea about the history of this dish and how it relates to the "vigilia" word:
      Let's move to Catholic religion. To begin with, Christians took Christ as an example by imitating his own life to recreate in them the sacrifice Christ made for humanity, emulating actions such as fasting, abstinence (= meat prohibition) and prayer.
      Now, Holy Week commemorates the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ. Therefore, it might not be surprising that abstinence and fasting take on special relevance on these days.
      I know that, at least on Fridays (the day of the Lord's Death) and also the day before (aka. "vigilia") his Resurrection, meat should not be eaten. Why meat? Seems to exist different versions, for example this one: the interpretation of the meat as the body of Jesus Crucified, so eating it would be disrespectful or even a sin.
      All in all, I think that nowadays, in general, the original sense of tradition has been lost.
      This dish of "potaje de vigilia" with no meat in it is very typical during the Holy Week and some people migth eat it following the catholic tradition and other simply might eat it because they like it.

      Helen Rennie this was so tasty! I found some wine in the end (yay! Glass for the cook!) and it turned out great! Even better the days afterwards. Still have loads left and it’s delicious. It’s reheating so well- I’m a doctor and working long hours at the moment so knowing there’s nutritious, tasty food made and available is a real godsend right now. Thank you so much for the recipe! 😊

    When you watch recipes to kill time knowing you don't have any chickpeas. When I do I'll have to mess with this though, the carnivore part of me wants to try this with some sausage thrown in just to see how it would turn out. Either way that looks great.

    • @SuzanneBaruch
      @SuzanneBaruch Před 4 lety +2

      Canned chickpeas are really not optimal for making hummus. If and when you're able to get out, try finding some dried chickpeas, as this REALLY affects the texture of the finished product!

    • @helenrennie
      @helenrennie  Před 4 lety +2

      another option is to heat up the canned ones right before pureeing. I hear that pureeing warm chickpeas makes a creamier hummus (not sure where I heard that -- cook's illustrated or seriouseat). but if it's possible to cook them from dry, that's ideal. it's been 2 weeks since I was able to buy dry chickpeas :( this video used up my last bag.

    Collard Greens (AKA green cabbage) and chickpeas (AKA garbanzo beans) are a great combination with potatoes. It's a nice change from plain pea soup. I'll be substituting the wine for alcohol-free chicken broth, which will give it a slightly different flavor, but not so much as to ruin the dish.

    Can you please make a video about bay leaf, is it really necessary? Does it make flavor, aroma, a difference at least? So as saffron it’s just color and a very mild metallic taste. Tell us what you think chef 👩‍🍳

    • @helenrennie
      @helenrennie  Před 4 lety +5

      Those are both aromas. How much of a difference they make depends on your nose :) Bay leaf is pretty subtle, but saffron is very noticeable for most people. Basically, if you were making a recipe that called for bay leaf and you didn't have one, I double anyone would notice. But if you were making a recipe that called for saffron and you didn't add it, that would be a somewhat different dish. Keep in mind that saffron takes time to release it's aroma. So if you add some to a dish, taste it right away and wonder what the hype is all about, that's because it didn't have a chance to release its aroma yet. Blooming it in wine or some other alcohol helps.

      Helen Rennie but if bay leaf as you said is very subtle, why only add one piece in (usually) some what of big quantity lets say stew, why not five like we do with other spices and herbs, bay leaf is extremely subtle

    Something happened that I think will you make you proud of me. I made this recipe mine! So it is the third revision? :D
    I toast curry powder in a bit of the thick part of canned coconut, add the rest, put in potatoes, orange squash, chickpeas, when they start to get fully cooked I add frozen spinach and cauliflover. I put in some fish sauce.
    For me, your version was delicious right now, but reheting it the next day made it taste weird. No idea why. This, I eat at school (without fish sauce or garlic yaknow) and taste fab after microwaving. Maybe I will add green beans and pak choi.

  • @greenzone5146

    I'm curious why you don't use the pressure cook function on the instant pot for the chickpeas? With pressure, it only takes 45 minutes instead of 12 hours on slow cook setting.

    • @helenrennie
      @helenrennie  Před 3 lety +1

      you can certainly do that. the slow cook method doesn't take any more active time and it works for all bean types. the pressure cooking method works for some very well, but makes others fall apart. chickpeas are good with both methods.

    I don’t know if this has been covered already in the comments but I’m interested in the Instant pot method for slow cooking the chickpeas I don’t understand adding the chickpea water because wouldn’t that have a lot of the compound that gives you gas in it and that’s why you are rinsing and throwing that thickened liquid out in the cans? If you know the answer and it’s been covered let me know.

    • @helenrennie
      @helenrennie  Před 3 lety +1

      The link to slow cooking chickpeas in the instant pot is in the description below the video: czcams.com/video/aiUcygy6W_s/video.html Slow cooking breaks down a lot of hard to digest starches, so the liquid is perfectly usable. That being said, some people can't digest beans no matter what you do. But I am one of those people that usually gets a stomach ache from beans and the slow cooking method described in the video is the easiest for me to digest.
