Best 4 Chickpea Onion Muffins With Sesame Seeds And Cheese Recipes

CRUNCHY CHICKPEAS WITH SESAME, CUMIN AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread chickpeas out evenly on a sheet pan and roast until crisp and golden in spots, shaking the pan occasionally, about 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the chickpeas hang out for another 10 to 15 minutes, checking in occasionally to make sure they do not burn. This will help keep them crunchy for an extended period of time.
• While the chickpeas roast, toast the sesame seeds in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring often so they do not burn, about 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside and wipe out the skillet. Using the same pan, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat and add the cumin. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sesame seeds back to the skillet and stir together.
• Add the chickpeas directly to the skillet and toss together until everything is well coated. Remove from the heat, stir in lime zest and season well with salt. Serve warm. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.

CHEESE, CUMIN & ONION SEED CORNBREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and oil a 12-hole muffin tin. Tip the flour, polenta, bicarb, mustard powder, cayenne and 2 tsp each of the cumin and onion seeds into a bowl with a large pinch of salt. Whisk the oil, milk and eggs together in a jug and pour over the dry ingredients. Beat everything together until smooth. Stir through all but a handful of both cheeses, then divide the mixture between the holes in the tin. Combine the rest of the cheese, cumin and onion seeds and scatter this over the tops.
• Bake the muffins for 20-22 mins until puffed up and golden. Leave to cool for 10 mins in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Best eaten on the day, but will keep in an airtight container for two days.
