Actually, when I tried this, I thought that the chickpeas (garbanzos) cooked down too much. Although this gave the stew a rather pleasant 'stickyness', I think I will add them later next time. I also left out the raisins. (Sorry, I can't remember where this originally came from - the Vegetarian Society (UK) I think!)
