    Toasted Chickpeas


    This is a great recipe that can be changed to fit your taste buds. Simply substitute the dry ingredients for your favorite flavors.

    Ingredients

    1 can chick peas
    1 tsp chili powder
    1 tsp garlic powder
    1 tsp sea salt
    1 lime, squeezed
    Directions

    Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350.

    Step 2

    Mix all the ingredients together in a small mixing bowl until the peas are coated with seasoning.

    Step 3

    Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven. Move the peas around so they will toast on all sides. Return to oven for an additional 15 minutes.

    I love chickpeas and will eat them almost any way but my favorites are either curry or in the winter i make a chickpea and spinach soup that is fairly simple its just...

    2 cups veggie broth
    1 can of chickpeas
    1 cup of veggies (i usually do potatoes)
    1/2 cup of cream (or for vegan i mix soy milk with corn starch to thicken it)
    2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
    salt and pepper
    and as much chopped spinach as you would like

    You just simmer the chickpeas and veggies in the broth until the veggies are tender then mix in the cream, seasonings and spinach and let it simmer on low heat about 10 minutes or until the spinach is wilted.

    Kale Chickpea Feta Soup - DIVINE!

    2 TBS olive oil
    1 med yellow onion, chopped
    6-7 cloves garlic, chopped finely (I used the garlic masher)
    2 tsp red pepper flakes (I also added 1/2 tsp hot chili powder and 1/2 tsp paprika)
    1 bunch Kale, chopped
    4 cups low sodium Chicken Broth
    1 cup water
    2 15 oz No-Salt-Added chickpeas (garbanzo beans) rinsed and drained
    1/2 tsp black pepper
    3 TBS red wine vinegar
    1/4 c Reduced Fat feta Cheese

    1. In a 5-6 qt pot, cook the onion, garlic and pepper flakes in the oil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until onions are translucent and garlic has changed color. Stir in chopped Kale and cook, stirring frequently, until Kale is wilted - about 4 minutes.

    2. Add chicken broth, water, chickpeas and black pepper. Cover and simmer 20 minutes until Kale is very tender

    3. Stir in vinegar prior to serving. Sprinkle with 1 TBS Feta Cheese.

    You can add egg for more protein - beat 2 eggs and drizzle into soup, stirring constantly, to thicken soup (it will be like Egg Drop Soup - I did this).

    Chick Pea Chocolate Chip Cookies

    1 cup cooked chickpeas, drained, rinsed and patted dry
    1/2 cup pb2 (or all natural peanut butter, your choice)
    1/3 cup honey (more for drizzling)
    2 tsp vanilla extract
    1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

    Preheat oven to 350

    Put everything but the chocolate chips in the food processor and process until smooth. Scrape sides and top and process again. If it balls up drizzle honey in while processing untill smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Using the two spoon method, scoop out a spoon size amount and put on cookie sheet lined in parchment paper or quick release foil. Flatten the cookie out a bit since these will not rise. Bake for 10 minutes.

    Dang tasty. Even the 3 year old approved!!

    I guess someone else has already mentioned this, but Chole Masala(chickpeas curry) is spicy and yummy and also low calorie.. You can have them with rice/bread. This is how i make it(dry chickpea should have been soaked for 6 hours, canned can be used directly).

    Pressure cook chickpeas with water and some salt.
    In a separate vessel, heat olive oil. Add some cumin seeds to this.
    Add some chopped onion and fry till golden brown.
    Add some ginger and garlic. better if they are in paste form.
    Add red chilly powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and some Garam masala powder/kitchen king powder
    Add chopped tomatoes and some salt and heat till tomatoes have been completely cooked.
    Now add the cooked chickpeas and mix them up. Add water to mix it to the consistency required. Adjust salt as per taste.

    Add chopped coriander leaves at the end. Ready to eat.

    Moroccan Chickpea Soup:

    I large onion
    2 carrots
    I red pepper
    1.5L vegetable stock
    400g tin of tomatoes
    500g floury potatoes cubed
    420g tin of chickpeas (not sure equivalent dried - couple of cups full anyway)
    2 cloves garlic
    harissa paste (recipe says 2 tablespoons but it depends how hot you like your food)
    (or a pinch of chilli powder if you don't have harissa paste)
    1 tablespoon cumin seeds
    2 teaspoons ground coriander
    1 cinnamon stick
    4 tablespoons chopped coriander
    some creme fraiche

    start the onions, carrots, pepper and potatoes in oil
    add the tinned tomatoes
    add the stock and the cinammon stick and simmer for 15 mins
    add the chickpeas and potatoes and simmer till the potatoes are cooked

    Fish out the cinnamon stick and serve with a dollop of creme fraiche and sprinkling of chopped coriander

    Tastes even better if you let it stand overnight or a couple of days, and reheat to serve!

    Goes brilliantly with a garlic flat bread!

    I once added diced lamb which was lovely, and if you don't add the stock you've got a stew!

    I sometimes make fritters with them.

    I soak some chickpeas or buy a can (depending on laziness)
    mash them up, you can add some flour (gluten free flour if you wish) as a binding agent
    an egg and from there get creative

    I sometimes make curried fritters, or apple fritters with sugar and cinnamon.

    I eyeball stuff when I cook so I can't really give measurements, but if you know things like meatloaf or cookies get it that kind of consistency and I either fry them in a skillet or bake them.
  • I eat this all the time! so cheap, and yum
