Hi, I've got loads of them. Tinned and dried, and no idea what to do with them and am not sure I even like them 😩 We are veggie so I'm sure I should know what to do with them innately but they have been relegated to emergency food status.

I have tinned tomatoes, passata, garlic, herbs, olive oil, potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, peppers, courgettes, rice, pasta, cheeses, onions. I'm sure I should be able to make something edible from all that with the chick peas but am clueless.

Please share your recipes with me!

I don't have a slow cooker btw. I know people often use those to make chick
Pea dishes.

Curry! We eat loads of it.

SistemaAddict · 16/05/2020 12:10

Argh, I should have said, sorry, curry is the one thing we don't really like. Except curry sauce from the chippy. We eat it very occasionally but it's not something we'd ever choose.

I’d use the courgette, peppers, mushrooms, half an onion with chickpeas in tinned tomatoes or the passatta. Add paprika if you have it and some veg stock (I use Marigold bouillon powder) for a sort of tagine thing. I make mine in a slow cooker but only so I can turn it on and forget about it, I used to make it in a lidded Pyrex pot in the oven.

I need some ideas I usually mix the in salad or with sweet corn. Have made vege burgers a few times but my husband had asked to find something else to make. We don’t like curry either.

Lordfrontpaw · 16/05/2020 12:20

Hummus? Be careful if you use a blender though - if it’s dry the motor will go!

Otherwise curry - I love chickpea curry.

Roast a load of Mediterranean veg with a little harissa and chuck a tin of drained chickpeas in for the last 10 mins. Serve with couscous and hummus

Sgtmajormummy · 16/05/2020 12:27

I make a stew with red peppers, smoked paprika and garlic. I add lots of flat leaf parsley and lemon zest at the end and serve with rice or crusty bread.

clearsommespace · 16/05/2020 12:33

You can make a veggie paella-type dish with chickpeas and rice as the main ingredients. Search for Spanish chickpeas and rice.

They can also go in a bean chili.

We really like Jack Monroe’e roast carrot and chickpea soup.

It's yum.

parietal · 25/05/2020 13:43

we roast them with olive oil + cumin + garlic

Lordfrontpaw · 25/05/2020 13:45

Oh good idea! I buy roasted chickpeas and they are rather yummy. I’m thinking a chilli version now.

FlowerArranger · 25/05/2020 14:15

Google lebanese chickpea recipe - lots of yummy recipes come up Smile

Toilenstripes · 25/05/2020 14:19

Tin of chick peas, tin of chopped tomatoes, 2 cloves of garlic (diced), roast in oven for 12 minutes. Then add a layer of halloumi, then spinach, drizzle olive oil and lemon on top and bake again for 12 minutes. Lovely side dish with fish or chicken.

Q1w2e3 · 25/05/2020 14:22

This is delicious. I usually have it with crusty bread or roast sweet potato instead of the couscous.

Vegetable omelette - soften onion in olive oil in a saucepan, add spinach, tomatoes and good grating of nutmeg, cook til most liquid has evaporated. Add 100g chickpeas. Beat four eggs, heat more oil in a frying pan, pour in half the eggs, add the veg, then the rest of the eggs, cook for 10 mins then brown under the grill.

I cook this a lot as well, when it says garbanzo beans it means Chickpeas barricks.com/RecipePage/3055.html

Smellbellina · 25/05/2020 14:37

I sometimes make minestrone soup with chickpeas instead of pasta (and chorizo but you can just add smoked paprika and up the garlic instead)
Or fajitas replacing the chicken with chickpeas
Also second a tagine, adding to roasted veg and making hummus. Chuck them through a salad. Roast them with a bit of olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin.
I love chickpeas!
