Garbanzos With Potatosaloo Cholay Recipes

CHOLAY (CURRIED CHICKPEAS)

Steps:

• Place the 2 cups water, tea bag, and bay leaf into a pot, and bring water to a boil. Reserving about 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, stir the beans into the boiling water. When beans are heated through, discard the tea bag and bay leaf. Remove from heat. Drain the beans, reserving water, and set aside.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a skillet over medium heat, and saute the sliced onion until tender. Remove from heat, cool, and mix in the reserved garbanzo beans, 1 tomato, and 1/2 the cilantro leaves. Set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Blend in the coriander, cumin seeds, ginger, and garlic. Cook and stir for 15 to 20 seconds, until lightly browned. Mix in the turmeric. Stir the chopped onion into the skillet, and cook until tender. Mix in the remaining tomatoes. Season with salt, cayenne pepper, and garam masala. Bring the tomato liquid to a boil, and cook about 5 minutes. Stir in the boiled garbanzo beans, sliced onion mixture, and enough of the reserved water to attain a thick, gravy-like consistency. Continue to cook and stir 5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining cilantro leaves to serve.

GARBANZOS AND GREENS WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Pick over chickpeas, put them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
• Drain chickpeas (they should have swelled considerably) and put them in a soup pot. Cover with 6 cups water, add the onion stuck with clove, the carrot and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat and let chickpeas simmer gently. Skim any foam that rises to the surface. Cook for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until chickpeas are tender. (If chickpeas seem to be drying out during cooking, add 1/2 cup water to keep them submerged in liquid.) Season generously with salt, and leave chickpeas to cool in the broth (cooking liquid). You should have about 2 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas. (They may be cooked a day in advance, if desired.)
• Put olive oil in a deep, wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the chorizo and let it fry a bit, then turn heat to medium. Add the garlic, pimentón and 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin, and stir to coat. Add the cooked chickpeas and 1/2 cup broth. Bring to a simmer, add the greens and sprinkle with a little salt. Stir to allow the greens to wilt. Put on the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until greens are completely cooked. Stir well, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. To serve as a tapa or side dish, transfer to a cazuela or deep serving platter. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon cumin and the pine nuts, if using. Alternatively, to serve as soup, spoon the garbanzo-and-greens mixture into 4 deep soup bowls. Ladle 1 cup heated broth into each bowl, and sprinkle soup with the remaining cumin.

POBLANO CHORIZO SCALLOPED POTATOES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F (170°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish with the butter.
• Add the chorizo to a large pan over medium-high heat and sauté until cooked through, 5-6 minutes. The chorizo will not change color, but it will give off a lot of red oil and become firm enough to break up with a spatula or wooden spoon.
• Transfer the chorizo to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving about a tablespoon of oil behind in the pan.
• Add the garlic, onion, and poblanos to the pan and sauté until the oil is absorbed and the onions are translucent and red, about 5 minutes.
• Add the salt, chorizo, and cream to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cream thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
• Use a slotted spoon to remove the solids from the cream mixture and set aside. The infused cream should be the consistency of a thin gravy. If not, continue to simmer until that consistency is reached.
• Arrange a layer of potato slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with some of the chorizo mixture. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and chorizo mixture until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of chorizo and vegetables. Pour the cream sauce over the top and shake the pan slightly so the sauce settles to the bottom of the dish. Cover the pan tightly with foil.
• Bake for about 60 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
• Remove the dish from the oven and turn on the broiler. Uncover the pan, and scatter the Oaxaca cheese over the top. Place the pan under the broiler to melt and crisp the cheese, 2-3 minutes. Watch very closely so it doesn't burn.
• Let the scalloped potatoes rest for at least 15 minutes, then garnish with the scallions before serving.
• Enjoy!

CHOLAY

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine chickpeas and enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight, then drain and rinse thoroughly under running water.

Raise heat to high and boil until all but 1/2 inch of water has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In large saucepan over moderate heat, heat oil. Add cumin seeds and sauté until they begin to sizzle, about 30 seconds. Add onions and sauté until golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add tomatoes, chile powder, cumin, and salt and simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens slightly, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chickpeas and 1/2 cup cilantro, cover, and simmer until thick sauce forms, about ten minutes. Pour into serving dish and garnish with remaining cilantro, sliced onions, and sliced tomatoes.
