Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Freeze Option:
Freeze cooled chickpea mixture in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little water if necessary.
Wine Advice:
Pair this flavorful dish with a light-bodied white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or a crisp rosé. The acidity and fruitiness of these wines complement the spices and flavors of the chickpea curry.
