A return to the village, to familiar lands. Now that the weather is turning wild, I craved a dish with stronger flavors, something "heavier" to match the gathering clouds... Chickpeas with beef, a traditional dish often found in Kos. It's the perfect combination of chickpeas, tomatoes, and tender beef that melts in your mouth, resulting in a flavorful and delightful outcome. Today, we are in for a treat! Let's start preparing our dish. We gradually preheat the oven, so that it's ready when the clay pot goes in...
Our Ingredients:
- 1 beef shoulder or brisket, cut into pieces
- 500g soaked chickpeas from the previous day
- 2 large dried onions
- 4 cloves of garlic, sliced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 500g ripe tomatoes or a package of cherry tomatoes
- 100g red wine
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 200g olive oil
- Salt, pepper, a little flour for dusting
Directions
In a pot, heat a little olive oil. Add the beef pieces after dusting them with flour. Sear them on all sides. Remove the meat to a plate and add the tomato paste, onions, and garlic to the pot. Saute them. Then add the garlic, followed by the beef. Deglaze with wine, allowing the alcohol to evaporate for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, pepper, cumin, and a little hot water. Reduce the heat and let the beef simmer for about half an hour.
While the beef simmers, strain the chickpeas (optional: you can rub them with 1 tsp of baking soda and rinse them well).
Place the chickpeas in the clay pot and drizzle olive oil all over. Mix the olive oil with the chickpeas, then place the beef in the pot and pour the remaining sauce over the chickpeas. Add hot water if needed (the chickpeas and beef should be covered). Take the sliced tomato and arrange it around the pot. Bake our dish at 180°C (356°F) for 1 ½ hours, stirring carefully at intervals to prevent the meat or chickpeas from burning. It's ready when the chickpeas have softened and the beef is tender. Serve hot, drizzling a little raw olive oil on top.
Enjoy your meal!
