    I make a curry that's literally just a can of chickpeas, a can of crushed tomatoes, and a few spoonfuls of madras curry paste. I just heat it up in a pot and pour it over rice. If you have the time, simmering it improves the flavours, but it's still tasty if you don't.

    I usually make chickpeas from dried beans, but do use the canned ones from time to time. I like to add a can of diced chilis, garlic, lemon or lime juice, and a little salt. I'll eat this as is, or put into a salad or veggie bowl. The chilis give it a little punch!

    Tonight I ate mine with a little yogurt, sliced cucumber, and topped the dish with hemp seeds and parmesan cheese.

    http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/03/chickpea-saute-with-greek-yogurt-recipe.html
    Here is a recipe for sauteed chic peas with yogurt:
    To combat chickpea fatigue, Yotam Ottolenghi chef and author of Plenty created this reimagined take on a vegetarian classic, a humble preparation of sautéed chickpeas. His Chickpea Sauté with Greek Yogurt incorporates flavors that are both expected—garlic and cilantro—and entirely new—caraway and mint.

    This lively combination, along with a generous squeeze of lemon juice (don't be shy, the acidity really makes the dish) works to elevate the chickpeas into something unexpectedly delicious and satisfying. Each bite of chickpeas brings bursts of fresh herbs and pops of caraway.
    The finishing touch is a few spoonfuls of thick Greek yogurt enriched with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. The yogurt works as both a condiment and a sauce, coating the chickpeas and accentuating their lemony character.

    This recipe can be made with canned or dried chickpeas but if time allows, go with dry. They keep an almost meaty bite and have a much heartier texture than their sometimes mushy canned counterparts.

    Mash up the chick peas. Stir in low cal mayo, mustard & pickle relish. Use as sandwich filling- kinda tastes like egg salad sandwiches.

    There are chocolate chip cookie- like recipes that use no oil or flour- chick peas are the base. If you do this, make sure you have people to share with- so good that I over-ate these today. Google recipes online.

    For savory, maybe a nice baked falafel recipe? You could have a salad base, and top with falafel and a nice yogurt-based sauce and maybe a little pita

    My very favorite chickpea recipe came from PCRM's Vegan Kickstart, and it's one of the few recipes that carried over into my normal life. I just eat them by the handful, and even my 2 year old loved them.

    Baked Marinated Chickpeas

    Makes 2 servings

    2 cups canned chickpeas, rinsed
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    2 1/2 teaspoons tamari (or just regular soy sauce)
    1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (fresh is definitely the way to go)
    1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup

    Preheat oven to 400 F (205 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix ingredients in a bowl and lay out on sheet. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, tossing chickpeas once or twice during baking, until the marinade is almost absorbed. Don’t let dry out, remove from the oven when still a little moist. (These are meant to still be tender, not crunchy). Serve warm for appetizers or at room temperature for snacks.

    Note: These chickpeas make a sensational topper for salads, pasta dishes, soups, and stir-fries. Also, leftovers can be lightly mashed with condiments for a sandwich spread, or whizzed in a mini-food processor with lemon juice, garlic, and tahini for a chunkier hummus! (Idk about any of this)

    I like turning them into a salad with sliced green pepper, sliced pepperocini, sliced olives, cucumber, maybe some tomato, artichoke hearts and/or feta. Dress it up with some balsamic vinegar, a touch of olive oil and some lemon juice.
