SPICED CHICKPEAS WITH CAULIFLOWER AND ROASTED LEMON



Spiced Chickpeas With Cauliflower and Roasted Lemon image

In this hearty, meatless main course, chickpeas and potatoes are coated in a tomato-tinged spice paste and roasted until crunchy and browned. At the same time and in the same oven, cauliflower and tomatoes are cooked along with thinly sliced lemons until soft and caramelized. Just before serving, everything is tossed altogether and drizzled with an herbed, garlicky yogurt sauce. It's a complete and satisfying meal that's perfect for vegetable lovers. Meyer lemons work particularly well here because they are milder and sweeter than regular lemons. But use whichever you can find.

Categories     dinner, weekday, vegetables, main course

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Kosher salt, as needed
1 lemon, preferably a Meyer lemon, thinly sliced and seeded
1 (2 1/4-pound) head of cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces (about 8 cups)
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 jalapeños, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot sauce
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 (14- to 16-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and blotted dry
1 pound baby or fingerling potatoes, cut into quarters
2 rosemary sprigs
3/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt (or substitute soy, nut or coconut milk yogurt)
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or mint, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
1 large garlic clove, finely grated or minced
Fresh lemon juice, as needed

Steps:

  • Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of oven and heat to 425 degrees. Bring a small pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add lemon slices and simmer until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain, pat dry with a clean kitchen towel and cut slices into quarters.
  • On a rimmed sheet pan, toss cauliflower, tomatoes and jalapeños with 1/4 cup oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold in lemon slices. Place pan on bottom rack of oven and roast, tossing every 10 minutes, until well-browned, about 35 to 45 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup oil, cumin seeds, tomato paste, Tabasco, ground turmeric, cumin and coriander.
  • On a separate rimmed sheet pan, toss together chickpeas, potatoes, spice-oil mixture and salt to taste. Top with rosemary sprigs. Roast on top rack until potatoes are golden, 30 to 40 minutes, tossing mixture halfway through. Remove pan and toss with more salt to taste.
  • While everything is roasting, make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, dill, basil, parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste and add more salt or lemon if needed.
  • To serve, toss roasted chickpeas and potatoes with cauliflower mixture. Drizzle with more oil, yogurt sauce and herbs.

1 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 cup sugar
Kosher salt
1 large egg white
4 cups mixed roasted salted nuts

ROASTED EGGPLANT WITH SPICED CHICKPEAS



Roasted Eggplant With Spiced Chickpeas image

Eggplant is a staple in the Arab world, the source of the dish called moussaq'a, a classic (and vegan to boot, if you leave off the yogurt). The key to cooking eggplant is to do it with high heat that concentrates the flavor and the flesh.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 40m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large eggplants, peeled and sliced lengthwise (about 1/2 inch thick)
1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for pans
1/4 cup peanut oil
1 onion, minced
6 garlic cloves, minced
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
Sugar to taste
Salt and black pepper
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Thick yogurt for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees and lightly oil two baking sheets (or use nonstick). Combine the 1/4 cup olive oil and the peanut oil. Brush eggplant slices on both sides with the mixture, then place on pans. Roast, flipping once, until golden brown on both sides, about 15 minutes total. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add tomatoes, spices and molasses, and bring to a simmer. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste. (The amount of sugar will depend on the tomatoes' sweetness; there should be a hint of sweetness in the mixture.) Simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Add chickpeas and cook until thick, 5 to 10 minutes more. Stir in half the pine nuts and set aside.
  • To serve, place a slice of eggplant on a platter and spoon tomato-chickpea mixture onto the wide end of the slice. Fold the narrower end of the slice over to cover the filling and place a mint leaf on top. Repeat with remaining slices and garnish with remaining pine nuts. Serve cold or at room temperature, topping each piece with a dollop of yogurt, if using.

  • Roast the chickpeas until they're crispy: This will give them a delicious, crunchy texture. Be sure to watch them closely so they don't burn.
  • Serve the chickpeas warm or at room temperature: They're great as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
