Holy garbanzo beans batman!

I've never made garbanzo beans (chickpeas) before. I had bought a can of them but never knew what to do with them. Today I had to get creative for dinner. I looked up some garbanzo recipes but everything called for ingredients i didn't have.

So I decided to Macgyver it. And here's how i did it. I started out by sautéing green peppers in olive oil at a medium low heat then i added some minced garlic. I let them sweat for a while then I drained and added the beans. Then I added some salt and pepper and let it sauté for a while. After a while I added a small can of tomato sauce and brought it to a boil. I added a little olive oil and a little vinegar. I let it boil for a while then when some of the liquid began to boil down I dropped the heat down to low until the beans were tender.

Then I served it on some white rice with a piece of chicken and voila! I was completely surprised to see how good it came out. I mean wow it was really yummy. And it was so different. It seemed healthy. I liked it.

Here's the result.
