Spicy Garbanzo Salad Recipes

ROASTED SPICY GARBANZO BEANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Pour the olive oil into an ovenproof pan. Stir the garlic, cumin, and cayenne pepper into the olive oil and mix well. Add the garbanzo beans and toss to coat evenly.
• Bake in preheated oven until garbanzo beans turn golden, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and sprinkle with feta cheese and thyme. Serve warm.

SPICY GARBANZO SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a wok or large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the peanut oil and toss in the garlic and red onions.
• Stir fry for about a minute, until the garlic gives off a nutty aroma.
• Add the red wine vinegar while still on the heat - cook down and stir in the chile flakes along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool before adding the olive oil and lime juice.
• In a large bowl, tip in all the salad ingredients and spoon over the dressing. Leave the garbanzos to steep for an hour or so before serving at room temperature, either as a starter or as an accompaniment to roast meats.

SPICY CHICKPEA SALAD

• Combine the garlic, pepper, red onion, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste, in a large bowl.

SPICY SHRIMP AND CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large serving bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, lime zest and mustard. Whisk in 3 tablespoons olive oil until smooth; season with salt and pepper. Add the chickpeas, onion, chile and most of the parsley (reserving some for garnish), and toss to coat with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds, pulling the pan from the heat briefly if it seems like the garlic is burning.
• Add the shrimp to the pan, season with salt and pepper and stir to coat with the garlic and oil. Cook until the shrimp are pink all over with a golden crust in parts, stirring and flipping the shrimp halfway through, about 4 to 6 minutes total. Turn off the heat, then squeeze the lime juice over the shrimp in the pan, stirring to combine and scraping up anything on the bottom of the pan to coat the shrimp.
• Serve the shrimp on top of the salad. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.
