Spanish GARBANZO BEAN SKILLET with Chunky Tomatoes
This Spanish GARBANZO BEAN SKILLET with Chunky Tomatoes is seriously out-of-this world good. Loaded with an insane amount of Spanish flavor, easy to make and done in 20 minutes.

The best part about this garbanzo bean skillet, is that it´s made with the simplest ingredients ever. Where talking garlic, onions, canned tomatoes, canned chickpeas and some seasonings.

The secret when you´re using canned chickpeas, is to make sure you drain them and rinse them well. This removes any of the preservatives in the chickpeas, that way when you cook the chickpeas, they´re full of flavor.

TIPS & TRICKS to make this recipe: Make sure to cook on a medium heat to make this skillet. This allows for all the flavors to really blend together for an explosion of goodness. I also used a really good Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Using a great olive oil really adds a great depth of flavor to this skillet.

Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
SWEET SMOKED SPANISH PAPRIKA
SPANISH SEA SALT

I’ve not tried yet, but this looks wonderful!
Let me know how it turns out! Much love
This was delicious but not enough tomatoes as shown in the photo. The only tweak I’d make is adding a bit more tomatoes or adding a little tomato paste.
This was one of the best tasting dishes I have made in under 30 minutes. The ingredients could be prepped quickly and cooked so quickly. The flavors were so well blended together. I served it over brown rice and both my husband and I were so impressed with this recipe. Thanks for providing such great recipes!
