Lighter than chowder, requires less cooking time and the taste is addictive.
Wheat and chickpea stew/Walla! system, Ayala Jenny
This dish was born out of a great love for the wheat of the chowder, which I used to make on Saturdays.
The wheat was well cooked with lots of fried onions, from which it got its sweet taste and in my opinion was the most delicious part of the whole pot.
Over time, the chowder became less and less popular in our house, and its place was taken by this wheat stew - seasoned with a lot of caramelized onions and small, charred chicken pieces.
It is lighter, requires less cooking time and the taste is addictive.
Exactly the kind of stews that only require a spoon and as soon as you start eating you just forget about everything.
A dish born of love.

Preparation
How do you make a wheat and chickpea stew?
1
Place the onion slices in a dry pot (without oil) and burn them while stirring, until they brown slightly (about 10 minutes).
2
At the same time, wash the wheat well and soak it in a bowl with water until the moment it enters the pot.
3
Add the oil and sugar to the pot of burnt onions and continue to fry them until they brown and caramelize nicely.
Remove to a plate.
4
Return the pot to the fire and sear the chicken pieces in it.
Sear the pieces in two rounds, so that they sear well and do not boil liquids and cook.
Season with a little salt.
5
Add the caramelized onion to the pot with the chicks.
Strain the wheat from the liquid and add to the pot.
6
Season with ground allspice, allspice, cinnamon and if needed a little more salt.
Mix and pour water just to cover.
7
Bring the contents of the pot to a boil, transfer to a low heat, cover and cook for about an hour.
8
Before serving, it is recommended to sprinkle some roasted halved almonds and onion chips, which add more flavor and texture to the whole dish.
From the moment you start eating, you just forget about everything.
