Today, I fully am fully understanding the use of crushed toasted bread with garlic and parsley. It has always been obvious that the bread would help thicken stews or soups, but to see the way the garlic and parsley marries into the bread, just shifted my understanding of the alchemical magic that happens. Plus, it is a good use for the last few slices of bread that have been hiding in the kitchen. Big appreciation for all of the tech tips that I learn at Spain on a Fork.
Yes, this is a perfect way to use the small round heels of boule-shaped loaves of bread, which could otherwise go to waste. I store them in the freezer for just this kind of recipe!
If you are out of bread, or just a bit lazy, you can also just take out a cup or two of chickpeas and potatoes a few minutes before the stew is down, mash it and throw it back in. Don't forget to add the garlic and parsley as well though!
My grandmother was born in Spain and she would make a lot of the dishes you prepare, like this one that I remember from my childhood. Love that your recipes are super healthy and use mainly fresh, simple ingredients that one can get easily. Thank you!
This is everyday food. I love making big dinners, but let's face facts, on a normal day, it's not happening. This type of food is what fuels you most of the time.
Cant wait to try this and especially the toasted bread, garlic and parsley! Great way to first try out my pestle and mortar. I could watch your channel for hours! Thank you 🙏
Came back to thank you for this recipe, it was dinner topped with a fried egg last night, then made a breakfast burrito filled with the mixture, scrambled eggs, and italian cheese. Toasted and devoured. Delicious!
Thanks for this simple & tasty soup recipe. It's rainy, damp and cool weather here in CT. I just now began soaking my dry chickpeas & will prepare this dish tomorrow---the weather is to me the same.....
I tried it today, and it turn out very tasty! My husband enjoyed too! Going to be added to be recipe book. It was main course with Baquette to dunk. 👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Just made this one and it's delicious! Have never done the fried bread + garlic + parsley in a mortar and pestle and it made such a difference in the stew consistency. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Good morning Albert, this looks so good. I think the potato will compliment the chick peas then they will not taste so starchy. Another good healthy dish full of flavour. Thank you for sharing. Kind regards.
@@marioncapriotti1514 Morning Marion, thank you for your comment, it is always good to know somebody else has eaten this food therefore it is good. It looks very nutritional. Albert's recipes are so quick and easy. Go well, take care. Kind regards.
Eating this rn. Absolutely 🔥. I put in some chili flakes and some lemon along with the parsley. So, so good. I know it's going to taste even better tomorrow. There are so many recipes on your website that I'm looking forward to trying! Thank you for sharing.
I could never figure out how my Abuela thickened this soup. She made it all the time. I have been experimenting with smashing up a potato and a few other things. And now the mystery is solved! Cannot wait to try this with the bread and garlic paste. My Abuela also would also make other versions of this soup. One with chorizo and another with kale and ham. I am hungry now.
That's similar to our german recipe too. Stews are very well known in Germany. For dinner, I'll cook a stew with our own lentil as the main ingredient and onions, garlic, carrots, leek, fennel, and bacon. Seasoned sweet and sour.
Albert: Delicious. I have everything here, so I’ll be making this one soon.😋 I just love chickpeas and potatoes. Also… *_VERY nice and fuller kitchen!_* Thanks again. (Fan from San Francisco, California.) *!!~ PS: I'm glad you’re back to a *_gas_* stove.
I don't eat much bread, but I have a lot of rice leftover in the fridge, I make this with dry roasted rice in a frying pan as a thickener, it works really well, I guess the thing is used whatever you have in your pantry that's left over... don't let anything go to waste!
This is great Spanish but you did a type of this a couple of years ago too. I'm eating this tonight but mine has some bacalao and saffron in it which really turns it into a classic.
I forget: have you done the Galician Soup? The one with kale and white beans? My husband and I hiked the Camino and it was such a satisfying pilgrim's meal.
Pretty much what I cook when I can´t think of what to eat. I start with that base and just add the potatoes and whatever vegetables I have on hand. If I have a frozen portion of skinless-boneless chicken thighs, I might add that. Probably will do this recipe tomorrow. Have some carrots and spinach I need to use. I wish I had some Red Argentinian shrimp, as I´m always slightly disappointed when I use any other type. But with the price of Olive Oil, and seafood, got to cut back somewhere.
@@SpainonaFork i made it just the way you did … left out the extra… you’re right. It doesn’t need anything else ! Thank you. You’ve been my go to for vegan meals this month ❤️🙏🏽my kids and husband LOVE everything you make! Keep up the great work!

My family is from Galicia. My mom used to make this all the time but she would add cabbage and beef to it.
Sounds great! Much love :)
Me gusta como cocinas tan simple y tan delicioso, no se necesita comprar nada etraordinario para hacer un buen plato.
Muchas gracias! Saludos :)

I really like your technique of adding the bread-and-garlic paste, which is totally new to me. Looking forward to trying this.
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
This would be a great vegetarian main with bread, salad and rice. Great value too!
Sounds great! Much love :)
Bro., this is a worthy contender to the Hungarian Gulyás 😋
(Thanks for sharing 👍)

Good morning Albert, this looks so good. I think the potato will compliment the chick peas then they will not taste so starchy. Another good healthy dish full of flavour. Thank you for sharing. Kind regards.
Thanks for the comment! Much love :)
The chickpeas are very high in protein, and the potatoes round out the nutrition. This plus a salad makes the perfect meal!

Sounds amazing! Much love :)
I have just made this after watching your video. You are correct sir - it is absolutely delicious. Fantastic!
Glad you liked it! Much love :)
This is so delicious... my mother used to add slices of chorizo which kicked it up a notch. 😋❤️

What sweet and sour do you use?
@kimberlymbutler here in the south of Germany we are used to add sugar and vinegar to lentil dishes.
Albert: Delicious. I have everything here, so I’ll be making this one soon.😋 I just love chickpeas and
potatoes. Also… *_VERY nice and fuller kitchen!_* Thanks again. (Fan from San Francisco, California.) *!!~
PS: I'm glad you’re back to a *_gas_* stove.
Thanks for the comment! Much love :)
Yummy! I can’t wait to make this😊
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
This one is clearly a winner!
Much love :)
Made as instructed... delicious!
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
I don't eat much bread, but I have a lot of rice leftover in the fridge, I make this with dry roasted rice in a frying pan as a thickener, it works really well, I guess the thing is used whatever you have in your pantry that's left over... don't let anything go to waste!
Gee, that is a great idea. Sounds delicious, and the texture of the dry roasted rice would be very nice as a thickener.
Sounds great! Much love :)
Another masterpiece!
Thank you! Much love :)
❤😊 me encantan los garbanzos son muy sanos para toda la familia muchas gracias Albert por tu excelente recetas que siempre son atractivas
Muchas gracias!
In Southern Spain they had cabbage as well.
Thank you so much for sharing. I love your chickpea recipes. I make your chickpea with orzo regularly. I appreciate you. 😊
Thanks for the comment! Much love :)
This is great Spanish but you did a type of this a couple of years ago too. I'm eating this tonight but mine has some bacalao and saffron in it which really turns it into a classic.
Would be nice with a couple of fried eggs on top 😊
😂 absolutely we are doing that to every stew. In clear soups everyone is getting an raw egg first in his bowl and then the soup. Sooo yummy
Yes! Much love :)
Looks so delicious! I have to make it!
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
Looks delicious. It will even taste better, if you add a little olive oil before serving
Pretty much everything except ice cream is better with a drizzle of olive oil on top. . . 😋
Sounds great! Much love :)
Qué lindo plato... ¡Saludos desde Argentina!
Muchas gracias! Saludos :)
Mmmm this delicious looking recipe is right up my street. Thank you x
Much love :)
This looks really great and I'm very intrigued by the used of a fried egg in the thickener as you don't mention this in your written recipe
This looks VERY good. Mmm! Can't wait to try it! 😊🙌🏾
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
Thank you for another wonderful recipe. Switching the type of bean would be nice occasionally.
That looks super tasty 😋

Good to see you are back cooking with gas. Any particular reason for the decision?
Just what was available!!! Much love :)
Thank u sir for making this English Language , Spanish Cuisine channel. Castellano is very hard to understand lololololololol
lol....Much love :)
(Having used both, which type stove do you prefer - electric or gas?)
I like both, but you do have more control with gas :) Much love
Would carrots or celery taste good in this?
Absolutely! But sometimes less is more :) Much love
@@SpainonaFork i made it just the way you did … left out the extra… you’re right. It doesn’t need anything else ! Thank you. You’ve been my go to for vegan meals this month ❤️🙏🏽my kids and husband LOVE everything you make! Keep up the great work!

Is it blasphemous to add peas? I feel guilty.
Absolutely not! If you like them, add em! Much love :)
No way would I buy anything from Goya!! 😞😖
You really need to silence your microphone when you're sampling your dishes. Please.
Nothing really new about that. I have been doing the same for a long time.
I love your recipes!
Thank you! Much love :)
