Chef's Tips
-
Garbanzo beans should still be whole and have a bite to them. If they have become mashed, the beans are being overcooked.
-
To enhance: Sub out oil for butter. Add 1 large or 2 small shallots to butter and sweat until translucent. Add olive oil after beef if needed and heat before adding beans.
