27 CHICKPEA RECIPES

Steps:

• Drain only one of cans of chickpeas and pour the second one with its liquid into a blender. Purée until smooth.
• Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat, add the garlic and sauté for about 45/60 seconds, or just until fragrant.
• Add the puréed chickpeas, the second can of drained chickpeas, the potato, parprika, thyme, rosemary, chili flakes, and some freshly cracked pepper and give a good stir. Add broth and stir again.
• Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and bring the soup to a boil. Then turn the heat down to medium low and allow it to simmer for 25 minutes, stir occasionally.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning according to your liking (it depends mostly on the salt content of your broth, I added about ¼ tsp of salt).
• Serve hot with freshly ground pepper, a drizzle of olive oil if you wish, and delicious crusty bread for dipping!

CRISPY CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Put the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or several paper towels and dry thoroughly. In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil to coat. Sprinkle with the smoked salt and toss again. Transfer in an even layer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake, shaking the pan halfway through the baking time, until the chickpeas are crunchy, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool at least 1 hour; the chickpeas will become crunchier as they cool. These are best eaten within 1 day.
