Chickpeas

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I seem to have three tins of chickpeas. Any idea how I can turn them into a vegetarian main course that isn't a curry, please?

Maybe a tagine?
What else?

Not a main course but you could make a salad. With tomatoes, spring onions, red pepper, black olives, feta cheese, basil. And a vinaigrette dressing.

Thank you - sounds nice, but I definitely need them to become a main course.

Falafel
Jamie Oliver’s chickpea stew
Tesco’s Aloo Gobi traybake
The Co-op’s recipe for chickpea bake with oat and almond crumble, or their chickpea and cauliflower bake.

Bootstrap Jack Monroe's veggie chilli works great with a tin of chickpeas replacing one of the tins of beans.

Eat well for less lamb tagine without the lamb

Hummus as a yummy alternative use of chickpeas.

My go to chickpea stew is very simple - sauté leeks and carrots, add chickpeas and a can of tomatoes.

Thanks for these.

I've never managed to make falafel successfully, so leave that to the experts!

I know I'm being weird, but chickpeas in chilli just feels all 'wrong' to me.

One of my favourite side dishes with chick peas in channa chaat - can't get any chaat spices at the moment though.

Will google all the bake recipes - they sound nice.

Should have said - nothing involving tinned tomatoes, because they are the great red globs of Satan.

This is nice

So many chickpea recipes involve tinned tomatoes!

That soup sounds nice.

Thanks for these. Keep em coming!

Also this, thicken it up with potato otherwise it's very thin

Also if you’re opening your chick peas make vegan meringue.

Falafel work best with dried chickpeas soaked overnight but not cooked.

For a meal Chorizo, chickpea, onion fried up, splash of sherry, tomatoes - eat with cous cous or rice.

You can substitute tinned tomatoes with fresh that you've mashed up in passatta (sp?)

I've just prepped chickpea burgers for tea:

Had to tweak the recipe for what we had in but they look pretty good!

Chickpea and chorizo stew

Make falafel and homemade hummus! You could even do different flavours

Greater I made vegan meringues recently
They were amazing !

Roasted chickpeas (tossed in cinnamon, cumin, coriander and pepper) on baked sweet potato halves with a houmous lemon juice garlic and dill sauce over the top and a bit of salad on the side. Lovely!

I also want to try and make coronation chickpeas, saw a recipe on Instagram but can't find it now
