Sicilian garbanzo stew

Yield: 6 servings

Measure Ingredient
4 cups Water
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
4 teaspoons Vegetable instant bouillon
1 teaspoon Dried fennel seed, crushed
½ teaspoon Dried thyme leaves
1 \N Bay leaf
1 medium Onion, finely chopped
1 \N Stalk celery, chopped
\N \N (1/2cup)
2 \N Garlic cloves, minced
4 mediums (2 lb) baking potatoes,
\N \N Peeled, sliced
3 larges Carrots, thinly sliced
\N \N (2cup)
2 \N (15 5 oz) cans garbanzo
\N \N Beans, drained, rinsed
1 cup Packed fresh parsley
\N \N Including tender stems,
\N \N Chopped (about 1/2cup)
⅛ \N To 1/4 tsp coarsely ground
\N \N Black pepper

In Dutch oven, combine all ingredients except parsley and pepper; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until vegetables are very tender. Remove bay leaf.

With potato masher, mash vegetables into broth to make a thick chunky mixture. (Garbanzo beans will not mash as thoroughly as other vegetables; leave as is for extra texture.) Stir in parsley and pepper. Serve immediately. Makes 6 (1½ cup) servings.

TIP: To speed preparation, use food processor with metal blade to chop onion, celery, and garlic. Replace metal blade with thin slicing disk; slice potatoes and carrots on top of chopped vegetables. Remove all vegetables from bowl. Clean and dry bowl before chopping parsley with metal blade.
