Ingredients: 1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 large onion, diced; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 2 large tomatoes, diced; 1 tablespoon tomato paste; 1 teaspoon cumin; 1 teaspoon paprika; ½ teaspoon cinnamon; ½ teaspoon allspice; Salt and pepper to taste; 2 cups vegetable broth; 1 cup diced carrots; 1 cup diced zucchini; 1 cup diced bell peppers; ½ cup chopped fresh parsley; Cooked rice or warm pita bread for serving

Instructions

Begin by draining the soaked chickpeas and rinsing them under cold water. Set them aside.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the soaked chickpeas to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 40-45 minutes, or until the chickpeas are tender.
Once the chickpeas are cooked, stir in the diced carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers. Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still slightly crisp.
Taste the goulash and adjust the seasoning if necessary with more salt and pepper.
Serve the Vegetarian Lebanese Goulash hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy it over cooked rice or scoop it up with warm pita bread for a satisfying meal.
