I have to say that this recipe is so tasty. I made it this last weekend and it is much better than I thought it would be---SO TRY IT! I served it over brown rice.

2 T. olive oil
1 red onion diced
2 T. minced garlic
1 t. cumin
2 cans (15 oz. each) garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
1 can (14 oz.) diced tomatoes
1/2 t. dried thyme
2 t. each honey and fresh lemon juice
13/4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
Couscous or brown rice for serving
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley

Heat the oil in a heavy sauce pan over medium low heat. Add the onion and garlic, wilt, stirring for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with cumin and stir to mellow.

Stir in garbanzo beans, tomatoes, thyme, honey, lemon juice and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, season with salt and pepper and simmer for 4 minutes.

While the garbanzo beans cook, prepare the rice or couscous.

Adjust the seasonings as needed. Stir in the parsley and serve or rice or couscous in shallow bowls.
