Bookmarked! This looks great Marc. Chick Peas are my favorite. I use them in everything, though not in this combination.

I'm gonna try this tonight using green chick peas from Trader Joe's, and minus the broccoli. Hopefully it'll still be good!

This was delicious and very, very quick! I threw in some chopped asparagus that had been languishing in the fridge, too. :)
