Do Ahead - Chicken & Stock - (2-1/2 hrs)
- Place CHICKEN in a pot of at least 4 quarts and cover with 2-1/2
quarts (10 cups) of water. Bring to a boil and skim off any crud that
rises to the top.
- Crush GARLIC. In a Mortar crush Cloves, Cumin Seed,
and Peppercorns.
- Stir all Flavoring items into the pot and simmer for 1 hour.
- Pull Chicken out of the pot and let cool until you can handle it.
- Remove Chicken Meat from Skin and Bones and refrigerate until
needed. Return Skin and Bones to the Stock Pot and simmer another 45
minutes.
- Strain Stock discarding all solids. Remove Fat using your Gravy
Separator. Refrigerate until needed - the recipe will need about 7 cups.
Prep - (35 min)

- Cut ZUCCHINI in half lengthwise (or quarters if larger) and slice
about 3/8 inch thick.

1/4 inch. Cap and seed BELL PEPPER and dice about 1/4 inch.
Mix all.

Run - (40 min)
- In a heavy bottomed pot (4 quart) or similar, heat Olive Oil and
fry Onion mix until Onions are translucent and vegetables are
softening.

fairly soft.
- When nearing serving time, stir in Zucchini and Chickpeas.
Bring back to a simmer until it is just cooked through - don't overcook.
