Chickpea stew with meat, without tomato paste, is a Turkish home-style dish of chickpeas simmered with pieces of meat, onion and water or stock. Leaving out tomato paste gives the broth a gentler, less tangy flavour, so the chickpeas and meat take centre stage. Recipes vary by household, and beef or lamb are both common choices.
The chickpeas soften as they cook, making the stew hearty and satisfying. In Turkey it is often served hot with rice and pickles; elsewhere, crusty bread or a green salad also make an easy accompaniment. It provides protein and fibre, with 9.5 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter pot, use a modest amount of cooking fat and serve with plenty of vegetables.
