Chickpea Wat

This Ethiopian recipe is very simple, it just needs a bit of time for the flavour to fully develop. It's important to use plenty of spices and better add a bit of stock later than making it too watery at the beginning. If you don't like chickpeas you can replace them with peas.

    All those amazing Middle Eastern spices in an Ethiopian dish, how interesting and delicious. The flavours would develop beautifully overnight. Such a healthy way to eat.
