Easy Chickpea Bake

Serves 4


Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 large onion, sliced thin

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 jar Otamot Organic Carrot Bolognese

12-14 large fresh basil leaves

2 – 15 oz cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded 

Kosher salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste


Preparation:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet on medium heat.  Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent and just starting to caramelize, about 6-8 minutes.  Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
  2. Add the jar of Otamot Organic Carrot Bolognese, 1 cup of water, drained chickpeas and half the basil leaves to the skillet.  Stir well to combine everything and season with salt and black pepper.  Bring the skillet to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes to bring all the flavors together.  Discard the basil leaves that were cooked in the stew.
  3. Heat up the oven on high broil.  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the skillet.  Broil until the cheese is completely melted and starts to brown, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Tear the remaining basil leaves and garnish all over the top of the cheesy skillet and serve with a nice loaf of crusty bread.
