Ingredients

  • ½ cup raisins

  • 1 cup warm water

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 small red onion, diced

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ teaspoons curry powder

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • 2 cups vegetable broth

  • 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained

Directions

  1. Soak raisins in 1 cup warm water in a bowl while you complete remaining steps.
