Drowning in chick peas..any ideas?!

[Confusedasusual78]

We must have around ten jars of chickpeas..I didn’t bulk buy 😂just what has accumulated over the weeks, without being used. Been spending far too much on the weekly/fortnightly shop since lockdown and want to go easy on this week’s amount. Any ideas for dinners involving chickpeas? Then I can just buy bits to add to them..I generally only do a chickpea curry with spinach, coconut milk etc..gorgeous but that’s all I really know?

Delias chickpea, chilli and coriander soup. We love it.

There’s a delicious tapa from Seville-chickpeas and spinach- loads of recipes online but the ingredients are chickpeas, spinach, olive oil, garlic, cumin and paprika.

CHICKPEA CURRY

INGREDIENTS

½ red onion

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove of garlic

½ thumb-sized piece of ginger tax

½ a red chili

1 tbsp curry powder

1 tsp cumin powder
Small
1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp ground paprika

1 400g tin chopped tomatoes

1 400g tin coconut milk

1 400g tin of chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

1 tsp salt

½ tsp ground black pepper

small bunch of coriander

zest of ½ lime

juice of ½ lime

1 avocado

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the oil on a medium heat.

Thinly slice the onion and garlic and add to the pan.

Grate the ginger into the pan. No need to remove the skin!

Thinly slice the chilli and add to the pan.

Add the spices and cook for 30 seconds.

Add the chopped tomatoes, coconut milk and chickpeas.

Add the salt and pepper.

Chop the coriander and add to the pan along with the lime zest.

Add the lime juice, season to taste and serve with avocado and the grain of your choice. Lovely!

yuck.. i'd keep them for the apocalypse. I'm a great lover of a canned pulse but chick peas are too difficult to get through unless in a hummus but not 10 cans worth.

I use them for lunch and make smokey tomato chickpeas on toast. I fry up some grated red onion then add paprika followed by passata and garlic then add the chickpeas and let them all simmer. Comes out like a fancy grown up toast and beans.

Slice aubergine and roast with salt, leave to cool. Add chickpeas, plain yogurt, cumin, sumac, chilli flakes and pomegranate seeds.. gorgeous salad.

This is lovely.

Also second the suggestion of Jack Monroe's chickpea and peach curry.

And just roasting and eating them, although you wanted meals rather than snacks.

Or, a chickpea curry! Yum.

Make humous and smother chicken breasts with it. Bake in oven. Makes them really moist and delicious.
Aquafaba meringue?

I had chickpea salad earlier. Chickpeas with feta, mint, lemon juice, cherry toms. Worked well

I hate chickpeas. Drowning in them - or more probably that juice they come in - would be a particularly miserable way to die.

Add them to a curry. Or make Chole.

With chorizo for a Spanish style stew.

With lamb and apricots for a mock tagine.

Tgey keep for ages, so no hurry.
