Pork with Garbanzos (Greek)

This is a traditional dish from Crete served usually at weddings.  It is best made the day before so that the flavors can develop.



Ingredients:
500 g (1 lb) Pork, cut into small pieces
250 g (1/2 lb) tomatoes, chopped
250 g (1/2 lb) garbanzos, soaked overnight
1 onion, chopped
salt and pepper
mixed herbs (oregano, basil, parsley)
olive oil

Put the garbanzos to soak overnight in water. The following day, place the garbanzos and their soaking water into a pot and boil until the garbanzos are done (30-45 minutes). In a pan with a lid, heat the olive oil.  Add the meat and onions, saute until onions are clear.  Then add the tomatoes and continue to cook.  Sprinkle in some herbs of your choice.  Then add the garbanzos and some of their cooking liquid.  Simmer until the meat is tender.
