SLOW-COOKED PORK WITH CHICKPEAS
Canned chickpeas are perfect for this one-pot dish because they become even more creamy as they warm in the cooking liquid. In case you're not a fan, you can go with whatever canned bean you like.

Steps:
- Coarsely grind red pepper flakes, peppercorns, and fennel seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle.
- Generously season pork with salt, sprinkling more heavily on meat than layer of fat. Sprinkle with spice mixture, massaging into all spots so it adheres to pork.
- Roll pork as tightly as you can, then tie individual lengths of kitchen twine around roast every 1" or so. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature at least 1 hour, or chill overnight.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven. Cook pork, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10-12 minutes total. Transfer pork to a plate.
- Remove pot from heat and dump out fat. Add remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and heat over medium. Cook onion and garlic, stirring occasionally, until exposed flesh turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in bay leaves and return pork to pot. Pour in wine and 2 cups water. Cover pot and transfer to oven. Bake, turning pork every 45 minutes or so, until pork is tender and pulls apart easily, 2 1/2-3 hours. Transfer pork to a plate and let cool slightly before tearing into big chunks.
- Return pot with braising liquid to low heat and add chickpeas and pork. Cover and cook until chickpeas and pork are warmed through, 12-15 minutes.
- Transfer chickpeas, pork, and braising liquid to a platter. Finely zest lemon over and top with parsley.
- Do Ahead
- Stew (without lemon zest and parsley) can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Add lemon zest and parsley just before serving.
MEATLOAF WITH CHICKPEAS
This recipe intrigued me because it had all the ingredients I liked, plus the fact that I would be getting more fiber in the meal. The chickpeas are "hidden" in the meat loaf, so a bonus for anyone who does not like beans. I am not a big fan of ketchup, so next time I may try chili sauce....(mind you, the other ingredients masked the taste quite well). As I was cooking for my DH and myself, I divided the meat mixture into 2 smaller loaf pans and froze one. The loaf was quite moist, so freshly ground up flaxseed ( 2 T - 1/4 cup) could be an option that I might use for the next time.

Steps:
- In a food processor, puree onion with garlic. In a large bowl, combine onion mixture, beef, chickpeas, breadcrumbs, egg, chili sauce, mustard, Worcestershire, hot pepper sauce, cumin, salt, pepper and parsley. Knead together lightly.
- Transfer to a 9 - 5 loaf pan and smooth top. Bake in at 350°F oven for 45 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted into centre of loaf reads at least 160°F.
- To prepare topping, combine chili sauce with mustard; spread over the loaf. Bake, uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Note: For smaller portions, divide the loaf into 2 smaller loaf pans. Cooking time is the same. I used the food processor to chop up the chickpeas. I am not a fan of store bought (dried out) bread crumbs, so I used 3 slices of flax seed bread. Regular or whole wheat bread could be used.
