Thanks!

I make hummus out of them and eat it bell peppers.

Chickpea curry. Fry onions, add minced garlic and curry powder to taste and fry briefly, then add cooked chickpeas and stock or tinned tomatoes. Bubble for a while. If you want, thicken with cornflour/water paste or ground almonds, or give it a few pulses with a hand blender to mush some of the chickpeas, which will also thicken it.
This is mini-Catt's favourite meal. For her birthday she asked for roast chicken and chickpea curry - I thought it was a random request, but actually it was a darn good dinner! We had yellow rice with it as well (boiled rice with turmeric)0 -
ROAST 'EM! For real! They turn crunchy and yummy and you have a high-protein snack.

I sometimes use them in place of tuna to make a "tuna salad".... basically cook them and mash them up (but not to the consistency of hummus, leave it a little chunky) and then treat it like you would a tuna (or chicken) salad... I use a little light mayo, seasonings, tomato, pickle, etc. Just something different.
I also really like chickpeas in indian food. I'll cook them with zucchini and carrots and some sort of curry or masala sauce packet.0 -

This! I actually prefer it to actual tuna salad. Delicious!0 -

Made this for dinner this week and it is delicious. If you divide it into 4 servings instead of 6 and reduce the oil to 40 grams instead of 5 tablespoons, you can turn it into a filling main dish for only 350 or so calories a serving. It keeps well too, if you like cooking ahead.0 -
Drain and mash them with a fork, then mix in chopped onion and celery (however much you want), a half cup of mayonnaise, a splash of lemon juice, and LOTS of dill. So, so good. Spread on some bread...mmm. Excellent. I toss in a chopped bell pepper sometimes, too -- also delish.0

I love them stir-fried with steamed kale, olive oil and lots of garlic. Delicious and healthy!0

I had this for lunch yesterday and thought it was tasty:
1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
1/2 cup cooked pearl barley
1/2 cup frozen corn (heated for 1 minute in the microwave in 1 cup of water, then drained)
1/4 cup salsa
Mixed and topped on some fresh baby spinach. Add seasoning as desired.
You could add any other grain or skip the grain portion altogether if you're so inclined. Fiddle with the ratios. Adding corn and salsa to any legume is pretty much a win every time for me and it's so quick to put together if you have cooked beans just hanging out in your fridge.0 -
I usually like to boil them and eat them as a salad. I usually put 120 gr chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, diced parmesan cheese, seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice and pepper. Sometimes I even add some boiled spelt.0

This may be more involved than you want, but it makes a lot and is really good. I also top lettuce salads with them. I saw a recipe yesterday for chickpea tacos. That would be good and easy also.0 -
I like to make chickpea flour and use it for pizza crust, pasta and wraps!0

I like to make brown rice, throw a can of chickpeas in, some frozen chopped spinach (or fresh if i have it), some garlic, and chicken. LOADED with protein0

I sometimes add a can of chickpeas to my "beans dishes" -- chickpeas, kidney beans, black beans (any kinds of beans), fire roasted diced tomatoes, red onion, green peppers, and frozen corn. Makes a lot to eat as a side dish or main dish throughout the week!0
