Crispy Ceci Chickpeas Recipes

Steps:

• In a large (12-inch) skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then dry them thoroughly using a kitchen towel. Add the chickpeas to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisped, 15 to 18 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the butter, fennel seeds and red-pepper flakes, and cook until golden, nutty smelling and foaming, 1 or 2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the lemon juice, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon some yogurt onto serving plates or bowls, then spoon the chickpeas and spiced brown butter on top.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, and fry onions until tender.
• Stir in garlic, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, salt, cayenne, and turmeric. Cook for 1 minute over medium heat, stirring constantly. Mix in garbanzo beans and their liquid. Continue to cook and stir until all ingredients are well blended and heated through. Remove from heat. Stir in cilantro just before serving, reserving 1 tablespoon for garnish.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
• Carefully dry the chickpeas. Removing the skins is optional and they will come off easily. The drier you get them, the crunchier they'll be!
• In a medium bowl, add dried chickpeas, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper and salt. Toss well to coat evenly.
• Spread chickpeas out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Roast for 15-20 minutes.
• Mix around on baking sheet and roast for additional 15-20 minutes, or until browned.
• Cool for 5-10 minutes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Spread chickpeas on paper towels; allow to air dry completely, about 45 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Spread chickpeas on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 40 minutes, shaking pan every 10 minutes. Remove chickpeas from oven; toss with mixed spice and salt. Place chickpeas back into the oven; turn oven off until completely cold, about 2 hours or up to overnight.

Steps:

• Coat a large pot with olive oil, add the pancetta and bring to a medium heat. When the pancetta starts to become crispy, add the onion, celery, carrots, 3 cloves of garlic, pinch of crushed red pepper and season lightly with salt. Sweat the veggies for 6 to 7 minutes or until they become very aromatic and start to soften.
• Drain the water from the soaked chickpeas, rinse and add to the pot. Add the chicken stock, thyme bundle, bay leaves and 1 quart of water. Bring the liquid to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer until the chickpeas are very soft and falling apart, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Turn off the heat, season the water with salt and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Fill a skillet with olive oil until it is about 1/2-inch deep, and the remaining 3 garlic cloves, the rosemary leaves and a pinch of crushed red pepper and bring it to a medium heat. Remove the garlic once it is golden; it has fulfilled its garlic destiny. Add the bread cubes and cook until they start to become crispy and golden. (They will absorb a LOT of the oil. That's why they taste good!) Season with salt and remove the croutons from the oil to a bowl, reserving the rosemary oil. MMMMM!
• Add the infused oil to the soup. Puree the soup in a food processor, blender or good old fashioned food mill. Correct the consistency and seasoning, if necessary. If the soup is too thick, cook it a little more to reduce it, or thin it by adding more stock or water. Taste to be sure the seasoning is perfect.
• Ladle the soup into serving bowls, top with the croutons and finish with a large drizzle of olive oil.
• See ya ladle!

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
• Put the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or several paper towels and dry thoroughly. In a medium bowl, toss the chickpeas with olive oil to coat. Sprinkle with the smoked salt and toss again. Transfer in an even layer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake, shaking the pan halfway through the baking time, until the chickpeas are crunchy, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool at least 1 hour; the chickpeas will become crunchier as they cool. These are best eaten within 1 day.
