1/2 cup diced onions
2 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 Tbsp ground cumin

3/4 Tbsp ground coriander
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained
1 can tomatoes with green chilies
Red pepper flakes (optional)
2 Tbsp Tahini (sesame seed paste)

DIRECTIONS
Saute garlic and onion in olive oil over medium heat for about two minutes. Stir in cumin, ginger and coriander and cook until onion is tender. Add beans, vegetable broth and tomatoes with juice and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for approximately minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
