Spicy Chickpeas With Ginger image

This recipe, adapted from Deborah Madison's "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone," takes dried chickpeas, soaked overnight, and pairs them with a sauce built on the robust, aromatic flavors of grated ginger, ground coriander, cumin and cardamom. It's an easy, Middle Eastern-tinged weeknight meal. As the chickpeas cook, prepare the sauce, and top with diced tomato, onion, jalapeño for added bite.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/2 cups dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
4 garlic cloves
2 sprigs parsley
1 onion, quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons sea salt
3 tablespoons mustard oil or vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons grated ginger
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tomatoes, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups chickpea broth or water
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Drain the chickpeas. Put them in a saucepan, cover with 3 quarts fresh water, and boil for 10 minutes. Skim off any foam that collects on the surface, then lower the heat. Add the garlic, parsley, onion and oil. Simmer, partly covered, until the peas are almost tender, about 45 minutes. Add the salt, and continue cooking until the peas are completely tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes more. Strain, reserving the broth. This should yield about 3 cups chickpeas.
  • For the sauce, warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until well browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Lower the heat, and add the bay leaf, garlic, ginger, spices, salt, pepper and two-thirds of the diced tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Add the reserved chickpea broth and the chickpeas. Simmer until the liquid is reduced to a saucelike consistency. Adjust the seasonings, and add lemon juice to taste. Serve accompanied by the remaining diced tomato, diced onion, minced jalapeno and chopped cilantro or scatter them over the chickpeas.

INDIAN BUTTER CHICKPEAS



Indian Butter Chickpeas image

A vegetarian riff on Indian butter chicken, this fragrant stew is spiced with cinnamon, garam masala and fresh ginger, and is rich and creamy from the coconut milk. You could add cubed tofu here for a soft textural contrast, or cubed seitan for a chewy one. Or serve it as it is, over rice to catch every last drop of the glorious sauce. You won't want to leave any behind.

Categories     easy, weekday, beans, curries, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
4 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 small cinnamon stick
1 (28-ounce) can whole peeled plum tomatoes
1 (15-ounce) can coconut milk
2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained
Ground cayenne (optional)
Cooked white rice, for serving
1/2 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stir in onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook until golden and browned around the edges, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. (Don't be tempted to turn the heat up to medium-high; keeping the heat on medium ensures even browning without burning the butter.)
  • Stir in garlic and ginger, and cook another 1 minute. Stir in cumin, paprika, garam masala and cinnamon stick, and cook another 30 seconds.
  • Add tomatoes with their juices. Using a large spoon or flat spatula, break up and smash the tomatoes in the pot (or you can use a pair of kitchen shears to cut the tomatoes while they are still in the can). Stir in coconut milk and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, and continue to cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, and continuing to mash up the tomatoes if necessary to help them break down.
  • Stir in chickpeas and a pinch of cayenne if you like. Bring the pot back up to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for another 10 minutes. Taste and add more salt if necessary.
  • Serve spooned over white rice, and topped with cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use canned chickpeas for convenience. You can also use dried chickpeas, but they will need to be soaked and cooked before using.
  • Don't overcook the chickpeas. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use fresh garlic and ginger for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic or ginger, you can use dried or powdered garlic and ginger, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Add the chickpeas to the sauce when it is simmering. This will help to infuse the chickpeas with the flavors of the sauce.
  • Serve the chickpeas with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also use them as a topping for salads or soups.
