One-pot dishes are a blessing for working students like us, juggling social lives, jobs, and classes. Enter this chickpea stew: It's the ultimate "dump-and-go" recipe for your Comfee rice cooker. It minimizes cleanup while maximizing flavor and are ideal for quick meal prepping.
Ingredients:
Serves 2 starving students or 1 finals-week warrior
✅ 1 can chickpeas (drained) - $0.89 lifesaver
✅ 2 cups frozen veg mix - whatever you have lurking in your freezer
✅ 1 can diced tomatoes - as cheap as possible
✅ 1 onion + 2 cloves of garlic - flavor base
✅ 2 cups vegetable broth - bouillon cubes are a miracle
✅ 1 tsp cumin + salt/pepper - simple yet tried and true
Step by Step:
1. Sauté Mode (about 3 mins). Crank your Comfee rice cooker to "Sauté". Toss in chopped onions + garlic. Stir with a fork (we're not fancy here) until they smell like your nonna's kitchen.
2. Veggie Power Move. Dump in frozen veggies.
📍Pro tip: Carrots add sweetness, spinach = instant health points. Sauté 5 mins while you check TikTok.
3. The Big Dump. Add chickpeas, tomatoes, broth, cumin + a heavy pinch of salt/pepper. Stir like you mean it.
4. Set It & Forget It. Put the lid on and set the cooker to the 'Stew' function for 20 minutes.
5. Pro Move. Let it sit 5 mins after cooking. Thickens up like magic!
