Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add one diced medium onion, two minced garlic cloves, one chopped celery rib, and one diced carrot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and translucent.
  2. If you’re using yellow miso for depth, stir in 2 tablespoons at this point. Cook for an additional minute.
  3. Next, pour in 4 cups of vegetable or chicken stock along with one can of drained and rinsed chickpeas. Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of dried oregano, ½ teaspoon of dried rosemary, and ¼ teaspoon of chili flakes. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 20-25 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Bob's Red Mill Grain Free Flatbread mix, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Gradually add 2 teaspoons of warm water while mixing.
  5. Divide the dough into ten equal portions for dumplings. With the stew gently simmering, drop the dough pieces into the pot. Allow them to cook for about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Once the dumplings are cooked through, ladle the Greek-style chickpea stew into bowls. Drizzle some extra olive oil on top, add a dollop of Greek yogurt, and garnish with finely chopped fresh dill and parsley.
