Red Cabbage with Chickpeas

Today’s recipe is brought to you by a guest blogger – my Aunt Lucia!  She made this meal and sent me all of the beautiful pictures and I’m excited to share!  Thanks for giving me a week off, Lulu!  This looks easy, delicious, and I can’t wait to try it.  The red cabbage came from my sister’s in-law’s gardens, but somehow my Aunt Lu ended up with it.  She decided to take a spin on one of our Italian family classics – swiss chard and kidney beans (my Nonna used to make this a lot).  The cabbage replaces the swiss chard, and Lulu chose the chickpeas in place of the kidney beans because she thought the white bean would like nice with the purple cabbage, so thoughtful.  Anyways, hope you enjoy and thanks again to my guest blogger Aunt Lu with her first MIM debut!
