Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I make this stew in a slow cooker? A: Yes, you can. After searing the beef and cooking the aromatics, transfer everything to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, adding the chickpeas in the last hour of cooking.
Q: Can I use dried chickpeas? A: Absolutely! Just soak them overnight, cook until tender, and add them to the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking to avoid them becoming too soft.
Q: How can I thicken the stew? A: If you prefer a thicker stew, mash a few chickpeas with a fork and stir them into the pot. This will add creaminess and thicken the stew without altering the flavor.
Q: Can I freeze this stew? A: Yes, this stew freezes very well. Just portion it into freezer-safe containers and store it for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat gently on the stovetop for best results.
