Chickpea And Coriander Dumplings Garbanzo And Cilantro Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor, whiz the garbanzo beans, lemon zest, lemon juice, cumin, half the cilantro, egg and some salt and pepper. Scrape into a bowl and mix with 3oz of the breadcrumbs and the diced onions.
• Form 4 burgers, press remaining breadcrumbs onto both sides and chill for at least 10 minutes
• Heat the oil in a large frying pan until hot. Fry the burgers for 4 mins each side, keeping the heat on medium so they don't burn.
• To serve, slice each bun and fill with a slice of tomato, a burger, a few red onion slices, some cucumber slices and the remaining cilantro.

Steps:

• Pour soaked chickpeas into a colander to drain and put in a medium-size soup pot. Add water to cover by 1 inch and bring to a boil. Add onion, bay leaves, cinnamon and 2 teaspoons salt. Skim off and discard any rising foam. Lower heat and simmer gently for about 45 minutes, until tender. (May prepare in advance and reheat).
• Drain hot chickpeas (reserve broth for another purpose, such as soup) and discard onion and aromatics. Return chickpeas to pot and add olive oil and turmeric or saffron, stirring to distribute. Taste for salt and adjust.
• Transfer to a warm serving bowl. Mix mint, scallions and cilantro together and sprinkle over top. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the onion and chicken until the onion is dark brown, and the chicken is golden, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, and stir in the garlic, curry powder, cinnamon, and clove. Cook and stir until the spices are fragrant and the garlic has softened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garbanzo beans, ketchup, tomato paste, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook 10 minutes. Uncover, and increase heat to medium-high, and allow the sauce to reduce to your desired consistency. Stir in additional water if too thick. Garnish with cilantro to serve.

Steps:

• Using a food processor with a steel blade, pulse onions until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Pulse chicken until it has the consistency of ground meat.
• Combine onions and chickpea flour in a bowl and mix well with hands. Add chicken, oil, salt, pepper, turmeric, cardamom and cumin. Mix well, adding a bit of water if needed, to make a dough about the consistency of meatballs. Refrigerate until well-chilled, about 3 hours.
• Dip hands in cold water and divide mixture into 16 portions. Shape into balls about 2 inches in diameter. Bring soup to boil. Gently add dumplings one at a time and simmer, covered, for 40 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss together basil, parsley, mint and cilantro.
• Ladle soup and dumplings into serving bowls, and sprinkle with mixed herbs.

Steps:

• Roughly chop the chickpeas (I do this by hand because you want chopped chickpeas, not hummus :-) it takes no time at all with a mezzaluna).
• Mix the flour, vegetable suet, chickpeas, coriander and seasoning together.
• Add water and mix to form a soft dough; divide and shape the dumpling dough into 8 balls (it helps if you have slightly floury hands when shaping the dumplings).
• Place dumplings on the top of a part cooked soup, stew or casserole and return dish to the stove top or oven to finish cooking (see below).
• COOKING NOTES: for stove-top meals, place dumplings onto food 20 minutes before its finished cooking time, cover with a well fitting lid for remaining cooking time; for oven meals the dumplings will be happy sitting on food being cooked at 350F/180C for up to an hour, alternatively place dumplings onto food 30 minutes before finished cooking time, cover for 25 minutes, remove cover for last 5 minutes of cooking.
