The combination of chickpeas and potatoes has been traditionally used in many dishes. They make a great pair with their hearty texture and ability to fill you up.
Chickpeas bring protein and potatoes, whether sweet or white, bring bulk, fiber, and energy. They are all great in soups, stews, and curries.
Here are some great OGP recipes that celebrate this wonderful culinary marriage.
