Cooking with MC

This chickpea stew is one of my favorite legume dishes, and we make it more or less every other week.

Some cooking appliances, like our Slow Cooker, come with a little booklet that includes a handful of recipes, so you can get started. The only thing included with my air fryer is a chart that indicates which dishes should be cooked with the grid and which shouldn't.  If you've had an air fryer for a while maybe none of this will
