It is used in a Spanish stew recipe.

And is there any sort of substitue if this is unavailable
Down Under?

We call garbanzo beans chickpeas. You can certainly get
chickpeas, either canned or dried, in any supermarket. I've
never heard of a chickpea sauce as an ingredient. The only
saucy chickpea thing I can think of is hummus, but that's
not Spanish, nor would I think it would be an ingredient in
a stew. Is the recipe part of a collection? Could there be a
separate recipe for the sauce?

Sorry I'm not much help, but now that you know garbanzos are
chickpeas (I'm assuming you didn't know that before, but I
could be wrong!) you might get a bit further.

Thanks for your response. By coincidence someone on a radio
talkback cooking programme (30 mins segment actually) said
this morning that garbanzos beans come from Turkey and are
one step up from chick-peas! Perhaps they are the rich man's
chick-pea - who knows?

I wanted to know for Spanish tripe recipe I am interested in
- but I HATE chickpeas so I shall probably use something
else - like more onions and garlic or tomato!

I think the guy on the radio was wrong. Everything I've ever
seen indicates that garbanzo beans and chickpeas are just
two different names for the one legume (Cicer arietinum).

Yep, they are the same thing. And I've never seen them used
to make a sauce. However, they are a lovely addition to a
multi-bean soup 🙂

I've seen the smaller chick peas, kalla chanas, referred to
as chick peas, while garbanzos are the larger ones. I only
buy the kalla chana legumes rather than the larger more
common version - less mealy IMO, and thinner skins.

Yes thank you for that info. The Spanish tripe recipe I am
hoping to make is called Kalla Tripe, but calls for
garbanzos beans. It may be that some of these things have
different names in different countries?

Yep - garbanzo is the Spanish/Latin American term according
to what I've read, chickpea is the English term,ceci is
Italian and I believe chana is the Hindi word. There are two
different groups of chickpeas - which are the same species,
but markedly different. The small coloured (brown, black)
chickpease are known as "desi" in India, and kala chana
belong to this group. The other group, kabuli chana, are the
larger yellow/cream chickpea which is also called garbanzo
bean. (Found some interesting info on desi etc. on this site
mendosa.comchanadal.htmlOpen ↗ - the agronomic etc.
info is a fair way down the page)

If you did want to look for garbanzo beans in Australia
you'd have to look for chickpeas as I have never seen the
term garbanzo used here. If you went to an Indian/Asian
grocery store you would probably be able to find the kala
chana - the smaller coloured ones. You did mention that you
didn't like chickpeas - do you like any legumes? If so,
perhaps you could try using another bean in place of the
chickpeas.

I like chickpeas, but have not tried the "desi" type. I'll
have to hunt some out and try them.
