First attempt at chickpeas, send good recipes
Removed by modI was thinking a Chana masala but if that’s too basic, I would love to hear what you all think is their best use

Two even basic-er recipes:
-
Hummus
-
Ovening them with oil and spices in a tray
Hummus with some jalapeno and cilantro tossed in is a :chefs-kiss: snack
-
toss them in a frying pan and heat up some oil or ghee butter and add the chickpeas with whatever spices you like. i like to use curry. little crispy bites to enjoy!
Chana masala is the bomb. If you want to make it less "basic" try making your own garam masala or adding a raita.
:reddit-logo: link but this chana masala recipe is insanely good, probably the closest I've gotten to how it tastes at restaurants. I had to hunt down a few ingredients but it was so worth it.
Big ups to this, in fact I've found my lunch tomorrow, thanks. Any bean/pulse + veg + tasty acidity usually goes real nice. Lil' smatter of cheese/substitute can go well too.
This chickpea tomato peanut stew is pretty easy and cheap one that sees regular rotation as a weekday meal for me.
This is what I’m going with comrade! Happened to have nearly everything on hand, so should be delicious
You think you could rock that without coconut milk or sub something in, maybe cream? Everything but that I keep on hand.
The recipe calls for light coconut milk, which is basically half a can of regular coconut milk and half water. I just use regular old coconut milk since I usually have that on-hand.
I don't know how well subbing dairy milk would work flavor-wise, but I would say to maybe try milk first before using heavy cream.
Or you could introduce coconut milk to your staples and enjoy a world of curries and yummy soups :sicko-pig:
I don't have a specific recipe but I think Turkish cuisine has some really good chickpea dishes you could look into
Pasta e Ceci is very tasty imo. Works best with shell shaped pasta.
First attempt is brave with the non-tinned stuff. I normally chuck the tinned stuff in a pan with vegetables and tomato passata for an ez dinner. You can also fry them 'til crispy with a drop of oil in a pan, and an nth of salt, comes out delicious.
The actual dried-and-rehydrate stuff, all I've ever done with that is make falafel, and they were tasty as hell, but took a fair bit of effort. Also sweet sweet home-made hummus is ez and tasty.
Inherited a 2 pound bag of dried chickpeas that I had been too nervous to touch lol
Good on you for goin' for it. Have fun, experiment, don't be afraid to fail. This is the beauty of such foods, they're so cheap and plentiful and tasty whatever you do, it matters not.
Falafel, obviously.
They're also really good in soups, in an Italian minestrone or in a north African kind of soup with tomato, squash, warm spices and saffron. You can also make a Greek-style soup with fried onion and garlic, oregano, lots of chickpeas, some spinach, lemon juice and tahini.
