Red Sea Chick Peas Recipes

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!

CHICKPEA AND ROASTED RED PEPPER PANTRY TAGINE

• Add chickpeas, peppers, currants, and vinegar and simmer, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and liquid is slightly reduced, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook couscous according to package directions; season with remaining 1/4 tsp. salt.
• Divide couscous among plates. Spoon tagine over and top with pistachios.

RED CURRY CHICKPEAS AND SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Cook a 15.5-ounce can chickpeas (rinsed and patted dry) in olive oil in a skillet over high heat until crisp, 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl. Chop 1 pound Swiss chard. Cook the stems and 2 smashed garlic cloves in oil until soft. Add the chard leaves; cook until wilted. Stir in 4 teaspoons red curry paste and 2 tablespoons water; cook until dry, 2 to 4 minutes. Add to the chickpeas; serve with lime wedges.

CHICKPEA OF THE SEA

Steps:

• Place chickpeas in the bowl of a food processor and pulse two or three times to roughly chop. Add remaining ingredients and pulse two or three times more to incorporate. Lay out the bread and place the lettuce leaves on two slices. Spoon on the Chickpea of the Sea and top with the other slice of bread. Cut in half and enjoy! Vegan Alternative: Use vegan mayo or a vinaigrette in place of the mayo. Unplugged Alternative: Place the drained chickpeas in a bowl and mash slightly with a fork. Add remaining ingredients and stir until combined. You may want to chop the celery and onions a little finer for this version, since they won't be getting an additional chop in the processor.
