28 Reviews of Spicy Crock Pot Chickpeas

My first vegetarian recipe in my new crockpot and I'd have to say it was a success. The recipe certainly lives up to its name as the chickpeas are certainly spicy. Made it in my 5.5 Quart Rival for about 3 hours, but let it sit in the pot (with the pot off) for another hour or so. The combination of spices reminds me of Indian cuisine, and the taste is very unusual, and very delicious. As one reviewer noted, yogurt would go very well with this I think, so I hope to pick up some today. Thanks for sharing a winner of a recipe Lennie.

Great recipe! Unusual flavor, but good. I added baby carrots and a little red wine vinegar, its not as tart as the balsamic. It could use something to thicken the sauce.

This certainly smelled fantastic when I finally got in from work! Tastes pretty good too. My toddler also ate this without protest.Didn't really notice the cayenne.I also was out of fresh gingerroot so made do with ground ginger which worked okay.

Wow, I inadvertantly overdid it and had some REALLY spicy chickpeas on hand so I prepared some rice and served the stew over brown rice. My meat and potatoes guy ate all of his portion and went back for seconds. I liked it, he loved it.

BF made this and we both found it delicious, with just the right amount of hotness for our tastes. He told me that he had to leave in the liquid from the chickpeas and even add some more water in order to get enough liquid so that it would actually boil - and the result had a perfect texture. Great served with a dollop of yogourt, some chopped cilantro and naan bread! Thanks for a tasty and healthy crockpot recipe!

Very yummy! I was nervous about the cayenne and cut waaay back on the amount — they weren't spicy enough for me though! Next time I'll be brave and use what the recipe calls for. I also halved the recipe and it worked fine.

I love this recipe! Even though I found it because I was looking for vegetarian crockpot recipes, I usually make it on the stovetop, and it works just fine. The balsamic vinegar is the key ingredient — and I usually up the amount to 3 teaspoons. I also usually use 2 cans of tomatoes (about 3 1/2 cups), rather than the 2 cups called for in the recipe, because it's even juicier and yummier, I think, with extra tomatoes. Thanks, Lennie — this one has a permanent spot in my "favorites" folder.

This was so easy. Tasted like something you would order at a restaurant. Fantastic! I used ground cumin instead of cumin seeds.
