So far my whatchyoumacallitstew is more like whatchyoumaycallit Glop. Anybody know if Garbonzos are good with beef and mushrooms?

Beef stew and mushrooms is absolutely delicious with a handful of lentils (cook them before and add them at the end or cook them with the stew). I've never cooked chickpeas with beef stew, although it would probably taste okay. Sounds like you came up with an interesting alternative. ;)

oooh, lentils.... I'll have to try that one.

Whole lentils, not the split ones that just go to mush. The flavour blends in nicely with the beef (or lamb). I prefer to cook them first; then I don't have to worry about them soaking up all the stew liquid. Either way is okay though.

Knowing me, I'll just add a can of lentil soup, at least for this experimental brew. And I've got me one of those up in the cupboard! *rubs hands and cackles madly*
