What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups cooked chickpeas
  • 1 28 oz can whole tomatoes, crushed with your hands (leave a little texture)
  • 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes, packed, rehydrated in water, drained and sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seed
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
Directions
  1. In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, mushrooms and garlic. Continue to cook over medium heat until the vegetables are softened (about 10 minutes). Add a splash of water if the mixture dries out.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook on low for 1 hour.
  3. Serve with polenta, brown rice or quinoa, and freshly chopped parsley.

This recipe is fantastic. It's easy, it's hearty, it's delicious. The fennel makes the dish. Perfect for cold winter nights. It is in heavy rotation in our house.

Just made this for dinner, I forgot the fennel seeds and the balsamic. But it still turned out great. I served it over the broiled polenta on this site. I am going to have a delicious lunch tomorrow.
