Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
6 garlic cloves, finely sliced
1 dried chili, mild or spicy
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
2 bay leaves
3 cups garbanzo beans (chickpeas), soaked 24 hours at room temperature
5 to 6 cups vegetable broth
10 saffron threads
1 tablespoon kosher salt or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper or more to taste

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. In a large casserole, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions, garlic, chili, coriander and bay leaves; saute for 5 minutes.
Drain the garbanzo beans, and add them to the pan, along with the broth, saffron, salt and pepper. Cover, and bring to a boil. Transfer to the oven.
Bake until the beans are soft and cooked through, 45 to 50 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.
