1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp ground allspice

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Basically you can just throw all this in a crock pot and put it on low for the day. If you have time you can brown the meat with the onion and garlic in a skillet first and add it to the other ingredients in the Crock Pot. As an alternative to using canned chick peas, you can soak 1 cup of dried chick peas overnight. The next day, drain and cover with cold water, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour before adding to the above recipe. Serve with rice and some sliced cucumbers or other crispy vegetable.
