A hearty and flavorful stew combining chickpeas and greens in a spiced broth.
Prepare the onion by peeling and dicing it finely.
Dicing the onion evenly ensures it cooks uniformly and blends well into the stew.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Crushing the garlic before mincing releases more of its natural oils and flavor.
Add all the ingredients into the crock pot.
Layering the ingredients with the spices on top helps distribute the flavors evenly as it cooks.
Set the crock pot to low and cook for 7-8 hours, or on high for 4 hours.
Stir occasionally if possible to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
Serve the stew warm, garnished with fresh herbs or a dollop of yogurt if desired.
Adding a garnish like fresh cilantro or parsley enhances the presentation and adds a burst of freshness.
