CHIPOTLE CHICKPEAS
This is a vegetarian recipe that was posted in the Montreal Gazette. I couldn't pass up on this recipe because of the different blend of ingredients. I think I should explain one of the ingredients here, since Zaar may not accept it in the list of ingredients. According to the explanation asafetida is used in many Indian dishes as a flavouring. It can be found in powedered or lump form in Indian grocery stores. In this recipe it is optional and you only need to use a 1/2 teaspoon.

Tips:

- Be sure to rinse the chickpeas well before cooking them. This will help to remove any excess starch and make them more flavorful.
- When roasting the aubergine, be sure to toss it with olive oil and salt before placing it in the oven. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly and develops a nice golden brown color.
