Hoagie, grinder, submarine, or hero -- whatever you choose to call those long, usually drippy, and always delicious meals in a bun, this recipe is one you can make your own. Chickpeas are combined with ground meat, basil, and Parmigiano-Reggiano to make tender meatballs, which are just as good served atop pasta, too.
This is a gooey, cheesy sandwich, a marriage of garlic-spiked chickpeas and already braised greens—and with a little punch of something extra.
Heat oil in a 6-qt. saucepan over medium-high. Add celery, carrot, onion, and rosemary and cook until soft, 8–10 minutes. Add stock and chickpeas and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove half of chickpeas and purée until smooth; return chickpeas to pan. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with parsley and Parmigiano sprinkled on top.
This is one of my favorite suppers, although there’s nothing that says you can’t serve this as a vegetable side as part of a more conventional meal.
Ingredients
Ho-hum hummus gets a makeover when roasted beets are blended into the mix.
Here you go: a Sloppy Joe sandwich that tastes better than your old cafeteria’s, and it happens to be vegan!
This salad is best served when the chickpeas are slightly warm or at room temperature.
Although in Italy the seeds from these sunflowers are usually pressed for their oil, it seemed logical to us to pair them with farro, a nutritious hearty grain seen throughout that country.
Creamy and mild, this simple curried soup is full of tender fall vegetables and the warming flavors of ginger and garlic.
