🍲 Ingredients
Fennel – Fennel has a very mild anise flavor so it’s not everyone’s favorite taste but I find it pairs so nicely when mixed with other ingredients. It’s also good for you. Full of antioxidant compounds that help fight cell damage, and so many other health risks. Chickpeas – Chickpeas are so good for you. They can help with digestion because they are high in fiber, and can even help with lowering cholesterol, your risk of cancer, and so much more. They are great to toss in a bowl, soup, stew or salad.
