CHICKPEAS WITH MINT, SCALLIONS AND CILANTRO
Chickpeas (garbanzos) always taste better cooked from scratch, but unlike other beans, you do have to soak them overnight. Then it's a simple matter of simmering for about 45 minutes. Cooked chickpeas will keep up to 5 days stored in their cooking liquid in the refrigerator. The combination of warm beans and cool herbs makes a great side dish.

CURRIED CHICKPEAS WITH CILANTRO
I love this recipe. It is my own creation, informed by dal and curry recipes I've made in the past. It's pretty easy, and great if you are craving Indian food. You can use canned or cooked chickpeas and adjust the spices to your preferences. The cooking time doesn't include the time required to soak and cook dry chickpeas. I don't like to use salt in dishes, but you may choose to add salt to enhance the flavor.

- If you are using dry chickpeas, soak and cook them, according to the package directions. (This requires overnight soaking, followed by boiling for about 1 hour.) If you are using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them.
- In a 2 quart saucepan, saute onion, garlic, pepper, cardamom, cumin, corriander, curry powder, tumeric, and mustard seeds in oil. (If the spices start to stick and burn on the bottom of the pan, add a little water.).
- When the onions are soft, add the cilantro. Adding water as necessary, stir constantly to cook the cilantro, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add chickpeas. Stir and cook until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
- Serve over brown rice.
COCONUT CURRY CHICKPEAS WITH PUMPKIN AND LIME
Canned pumpkin purée and coconut milk, heavily seasoned with curry spices and lots of fresh lime juice, make a sweet-sharp sauce for chickpeas. It's a rich, creamy curry that you can eat on its own, or serve over rice or couscous. If you want to incorporate more vegetables, stir in some spinach, baby kale or sliced green beans during the last few minutes of cooking, letting them soften in the sauce.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are best, as they have a better flavor and texture than canned chickpeas. If using dried chickpeas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
- Don't overcook the chickpeas: Chickpeas should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked chickpeas will be mushy and bland.
- Use a variety of spices: Curry powder is the main spice in this recipe, but you can also add other spices to taste. Some good options include turmeric, cumin, coriander, and garam masala.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the heat level: This recipe is mild, but you can easily make it spicier by adding more chili powder or cayenne pepper. If you are not sure how spicy you want it, start with a small amount of spice and add more to taste.
- Serve with your favorite sides: This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or naan bread. You can also serve it with a side of yogurt or chutney.

This curried chickpea recipe is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give this recipe a try.
