Turkish Chickpeas with pearl onion stew ( Nohut yemeği ). Recipe with Video.

Merhaba From Türkiye 👋

One typical Turkish homey dish. The baharat or spices added may vary from each person and region. But the key ingredient is the same; tomato paste.

Here I use lamb meat cut into chunks, you can skip it for the vegetarian version and add the chickpeas portion a bit.

For pre-cooked chickpeas, I soaked dried chickpeas the night before then boiled them until it tenders. You can ship this step if you use a parboiled canned one.

Making this is quite easy and only needs 1 pot!

You also can use your slow-cooker for making this everyone's favorite.
