Brown Veggies

Cook combined ingredients covered for 40 mins.
Above is the actual recipe I found and a couple pictures of the preparation. I cut out the tofu, walnuts, and raisins because I'm not a fan of them.
The recipe turned out pretty good. If I make it again I will probably take down the amount of chickpeas, but again that's just a personal preference. Enjoy
