Chickpeas without tomato paste is a simple home-style preparation of chickpeas simmered until tender, typically with onion, oil and water rather than the tomato paste used in many Turkish stews. Cumin, pepper or other seasonings may be added, while the chickpeas stay soft and the cooking liquid gives the dish a comforting, savoury finish.
In Turkey, it is often served as a filling main dish with rice or bread, especially on cooler days; leftovers reheat well for another meal. Chickpeas provide plant protein and fibre, making this a satisfying meat-free option. For a lighter plate, use a modest amount of oil and serve it with a fresh salad; soaking the chickpeas beforehand helps them cook more evenly.
