Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Anyone have any really easy simple ideas on how to use up chick peas? curries, stews..... something that no one has ever heard of... etc..... I've got a craving for them, but the only way I know how to use them is either raw on a salad or as hummus. I've also got limited ingredients here, so really really simple would be a plus! ;o) Thanks for any ideas you've got! Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 1) with balsamic vinegar, a pinch of sugar, and garlic and basil. Alone, or in a pita. 2) same as above, but add cooked pasta, and asparagus Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been lurking for a couple of months now. Just went vegetarian myself, although DD has been one for 5 years now, and haven't posted because I didn't have any recipes to contribute. But you jogged my memory about this one I got from my in-laws in Pakistan years ago. Hope you like it.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2000 Report Share Posted December 12, 2000 Hi there, I use chick peas everywhere - they're definitely my favourite! For a quick curry I stir fry whatever I have, e.g. cubed potato, diced eggplant, carrots, peas, beans, onion etc. Then toss in some chick peas. I add some turmeric, ground coriander and cumin to taste (the more, the spicier) and then a little coconut milk if I have any or have even used soy milk to make the dish just a little wet and the spices go saucy. They are also great added to soups, just stir through for a few minutes to warm prior to serving. I love making a quick tomato based stew with various diced vegies, chopped tomatoes and add the chick peas at the end again til they are warm. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2000 Report Share Posted December 21, 2000 I saute garlic in some olive oil and then toss in a can a chick peas. Let it cook until hot and slightly tender and then mix with some cooked pasta. Flavor with salt and lots of pepper. This is so quick and good too.
