My husband (who is not normally a cook) made this for my first meal at home after our first child was born.

Beef and Chick Peas
2 lbs ground beef
1 chopped onion
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 can chick peas, drained
¼ cup red wine
1/3 cup tomato paste (1/2 can)
¼ cup water
½ tsp ground allspice
2 tsp dried mint, crushed
S&P
Basically you can just throw all this in a crock pot and put it on low for the day. If you have time you can brown the meat with the onion and garlic in a skillet first and add it to the other ingredients in the Crock Pot.
Serve with rice and some sliced cucumbers or other crispy vegetable.

    Basically you can just throw all this in a crock pot and put it on low for the day. If you have time you can brown the meat with the onion and garlic in a skillet first and add it to the other ingredients in the Crock Pot. As an alternative to using canned chick peas, you can soak 1 cup of dried chick peas overnight. The next day, drain and cover with cold water, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour before adding to the above recipe. Serve with rice and some sliced cucumbers or other crispy vegetable.
