Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup dried chickpeas -- (2 1/2 cups cooked)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 clove garlic -- minced

2 teaspoons curry powder

1/2 teaspoon salt -- (1/2 to 3/4)

freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

 

What food these morsels be. They vary from crunchy inside and out to crunchy on

the outside and soft on the inside. Theyre great for appetizers with drinks and

also make tasty, nutritious snacks. (Photo on page 129.)

 

Sort through, rinse, soak, and cook the chickpeas by your preferred method (see

Chapter 7). Drain and place on paper towels to dry.

 

Preheat the oven to 400F. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-low

heat. When hot, add the garlic and curry powder. Saute, stirring occasionally,

until the garlic just begins to turn golden.

 

Add the chickpeas and stir to coat with the garlic and curry powder. Add the

salt and pepper. Stir to combine and turn out the chickpeas into a large,

shallow baking pan. Bake 25-35 minutes, or until crunchy. Serve warm.

 

Yields 2 1/2 cups

Note: You can freeze cooked Chickpea Munchies and then reheat them at 400F for

15-20 minutes.
