We love chickpeas so this recipe from Chef April Bloomfield of the Spotted Pig quot;gastro-pubquot; in Greenwich, Manhattan soon became one of our favorites.
Skip the fuss of dining out and serve a hearty, cheesy enchilada bake that's ready in no time. Our saucy dish rivals anything you can get at your favorite Mexican joint.
I love this soup. I like to have the vegetables cut medium it makes is hardier. But if you prefer smooth you can always chop smaller or puree. I also omit the bay leaf because I don't like bay leaf. I also use a ham hock from left over Easter or Christmas dinner.
Juicy pork chops are sauteed to perfection and served with an appealing sauce made with marinara Italian sauce, frozen chopped spinach and onion, then topped with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Roasting the tomatoes, garlic and onions makes this soup especially flavorful. After the veggies are roasted, all you need is 40 minutes and you've got a robust, rustic-style soup.
