Garbanzo Bean Stew

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Dried garbanzo beans
  • 10 cup water
  • 4 lb Stew Beef or venison, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 sm Onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp white pepper

Directions

* Soak the garbanzo beans overnight in twice their volume of water.
* The beans will absorb much of the water and swell in size.
* The following day, drain and rinse the beans under cold running water.
* Place the beans in a large pot with the 10 cups of water.
* Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
* Add the meat, onions, salt, and pepper, stir well and continue cooking another 2 hours until the meat is tender and the beans are fully cooked.
