Best 5 Kurdish Chickpea Salad Recipes

CHICKPEA SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl: 3 Tbsp olive oil, 3 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 pressed garlic clove, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper and whisk to combine (or shake them together in a small mason jar).
• Combine remaining chickpea salad ingredients in a salad bowl, add dressing to taste (we used all of it) and toss to coat.

MEDITERRANEAN CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• Place the onions in a bowl of cool water and let them soak while you prepare the other ingredients (this removes the harsher bite from the onions, while still giving great flavor).
• Place the chickpeas, parsley, bell peppers, cucumber, and feta in a large serving bowl.
• In a small mixing bowl or large measuring cup, stir together the dressing ingredients: olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Drain the red onions and add them to the chickpea mixture, then pour the dressing over the top. Toss to combine. If time allows, let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or enjoy immediately.

KURDISH SOUP DOWJIC

Steps:

• Brown chicken in large pan or stockpot.
• Add stock and lemon juice. Bring to boil, add rice, turn down to low, and simmer until chicken is cooked through (just barely simmer--basically you're poaching the chicken, it should take about 10 to 12 minutes).
• Remove chicken, dice.
• Beat yogurt and egg together in a medium bowl.
• Add 1 cup simmering broth to yogurt, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking constantly (this prevents the yogurt from separating).
• Add yogurt mixture to pot, whisking well.
• Add salt (adjust to taste).
• Return chicken to pan. Over low heat, heat through but do not boil. Serve sprinkled with parsley.

CURRIED CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a sauté pan large enough to easily hold the beans over medium heat. When hot, add the oil to heat, then add the onion and sauté until deeply colored, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring periodically.
• Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and cayenne pepper (if using) and continue to sauté until the spices are aromatic and a bit toasted, about 3 minutes.
• Add the chickpeas, lemon juice, salt and pepper and cook for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
• Remove from heat and cool. Store in the refrigerator, or mix in the fresh cilantro or parsley and serve immediately.
