1 cup dried garbanzo beans

¼ cup olive oil

1 onion, chopped

2 carrots, chopped

4 small potatoes, peeled and chopped

In large pot, heat oil and sauté onions 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add carrots, potatoes and garlic and cook for 5 minutes more. Add tomatoes, thyme, cooked beans, water, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve stew garnished with parsley.      Serves 4
