Garbonzo Beans/Chickpeas...What Can I Make?

Saute a large onion and a chopped clove of garlic until soft. Add a can of chopped tomatoes, a chopped red pepper, a can of chickpeas, some concentrated or powdered stock, a tsp of chilli powder or puree, and a tablespoon of tomato paste. Put in a casserole and bake for about an hour. Delicious on its own with crusty bread, or as a side dish. Works really well with butter beans too.

I see lots of canned garbonzo bean recipes. Anyone know what you can do with the frozen or how they taste? My mom brought me some green garbonzos that are frozen. I am kinda at a loss.

They'll be fresh (as opposed to dried) you lucky thing. Would your Mom like to adopt, me, do you think?

Anyway, treat a bit like peas - defrost, (obviously), eat raw or lightly cooked. I'd make the most of the treat and put them in salads I think, but any recipe for fresh/frozen broad beans, peas, or edamame would work.

Any recipe that needs meat/beans/nuts will take them.

My basic one is: a can of chickpeas, a bag of mesclun salad, and some lemon/lime juice. Drain can, empty into bag, squeeze in lemon juice, shake bag. Some black pepper or chilli powder goes great too.

You can grab all of these from a supermarket in under 5 minutes, make anywhere (carry at least a spoon every where you go!), and eat anywhere.

i mix mine with tuna and oil, vinegar, celery and carrots.
