Chickpea Tangine wth Cinnamon, Cumin, and Carrots

I love this recipe - quick, easy, tasty, and cheap - what could be better?

serves 4. 30min or less.

2Tbs. olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 14.5 oz cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3 med. carrots, sliced into thin rounds
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp agave nectar
3 Tbs. finely chopped parsley

Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and saute 2-3 minutes, or until onion slices are soft. Stir in chickpeas, carrots, spices, agave nectar, and 2 cups of water. cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

serve with parsley as a garnish. I like to serve this over rice just to make it last a bit longer.

hello,

Thank you for the wonderful resource you have put together.

I just wanted to throw something out there ... in case the soy avoidance was for thyroid disease.

My thyroid specialist just told me to avoid chick peas because they are a cousin to the soy bean and contain the same chemicals (the isoflavones genistein & daidzein)... as well as peanuts, almonds and walnuts.

I'm finding that eating soy & gluten free is a HUGE challange.

Good luck everyone ... and thanks for the recipes.

This is an awesome recipe. My whole family loved it even my 14 month old twins and my 2 year old. I loved that it was so easy and yet so delicious!
