...so I got carried away with all this healthy eating, low Gi etc and bought 4 cans of chickpeas, but the only thing I know how to make is a maroccan chickpea salad and I got bored from it. I don't want to do my own Humus, thank you very much, too much worl Wink

So does anyone have a good recipe with chickpeas that is quick and easy to make? Thank you so much!!

Roast them Smile

Put them in a bowl and toss with olive oil and whatever seasonings you like - I use salt, pepper, paprika and cumin. Put them on a cookie sheet and roast at 400 in the oven till they are crunchy (20-30 min)- a really nice snack or good as a side dish for a meal.

Soup - onion soup, stewed tomatoes, cooked carrots, and chick peas.

Marinated salad with baby corn, olives, colorful pepper. (Dressing: 2 oz. white vinegar, 2 oz. oil or water, 1 tsp. salt, 1 Tbsp. sugar, a shake of pepper)

sautee lots of pureed garlic (you can do this in a food processor with 4 bigger cloves of garlic or use 2-3 cubes per can), the chickpeas (drained but reserve the liquid), a little salt and lots (1-2T) paprika. After everything is mixed, turn down the heat to med-low and cover. Stir every couple of minutes and add a little liquid is things are looking very dry. Cook for 5 minutes or so after covering. Taste for salt. Everyone I serve this too loves it! I use it as a side dish or appetizer or sometimes as my main for lunch with a pita or an Israeli salad.

Chickpea salad
cut up cucumber and tomatoes into small pieces you can also do peppers instead of tomatoes or in addition add chickpeas, mix in mayo and spices, my husband uses salsa instead of the spices.

I like these two chickpea-based Indian dishes:

Chana Masala. http://www.food.com/recipe/channa-masala-17471
Chana Saag. http://www.grouprecipes.com/7976/chana-saag-chickpea-spinach-curry.html

The recipes may look complicated due to the number of ingredients, but are really easy to make.

Another vote for Indian chickpeas, Chana Masala. My quick version is, toast a bit of whole cumin seed in a dry pot, sautee 1 large chopped onion per can of chickpeas with a bit of oil till nearly browned. Add drained chickpeas, season with salt, pepper and curry powder (or turmeric) and cook for 10min.

Other suggestions are add drained chickpeas to cooked basmati rice, or make sephardi hamin/cholent with chickpeas, sweetpotato, lots of sauteed onions and paprika.
