Chickpea recipe ideas

evaluating the sprouting potential of my hoard of legumes

I have fond memories of seeing Horde of Legumes at the Bull and Gate in 1986 and their debut album "Sprouting Potential" is still a classic imo.

Where does the word garbanzo come from?

“Garbanzo” comes from the Spanish term for chickpea, a compound of “garau” meaning “seed,” and “antzu” meaning “dry.”

Chickpeas are grao here , very popular especially with salt cod

I just realised the irony of a meal of falafel with hummus followed by Indian gram flour-based sweets ...

Good idea. What should I sprinkle on them?

Olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin
Make sure they're very dry first

 

[Hellsbells]

And yes, very hot oven and just taste to check if crunchy & if not keep in oven longer

I don't have olive oil I used mustard oil. They were a bit wet when they went in because had no way to dry them. Still nice. Next time will be better.

That is actually quite interesting. They basically boil gram flour and let it set, like polenta, then use it as the protein element in various dishes.

Not a huge tofu fan but love chickpeas so I am going to try this.

Another one from Ottolenghi (the first one). Can confirm that it tastes great, although it takes a fair old while to make.

falafel

75g dry chickpeas soaked in water 24 hours to become 150g
1 lvl tsp ground cumin
1 lvl tsp ground coriander
0.125 lvl tsp black pepper
0.25 lvl tsp salt
1 spring onion or 1/8 yellow onion
1 garlic clove
4 pinches coriander, long stems removed, roughly chopped
0.25 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp sesame seeds to outside before frying (optional)

First process chickpeas with onion and garlic. When quite fine, add coriander, cumin, pepper, salt, baking powder and coriander leaves and process again well. Better to finish with some grain remaining rather than smooth mush

Form into balls (sorbet scoop works well) or patties and fry 170C until mid to almost deep brown on outside for good flavour
