Fried Chickpeas
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 cup Dried chickpeas
- 1 md Onion, diced
- 3 Tbsp Peanut oil
- 1 Tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tsp Dried parsley
- 2 tsp Dried mint
- 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric
- 1/4 tsp Ground cumin seed
Preparation:
Soak the chickpeas overnight in lots of water. Then bring to a boil, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours.
Mix the onions and spices together in a small bowl.
Using a non-stick pan, then fry in the oil until the onions are brown (5 to 10 minutes).
Thoroughly mix the fried onion, cooked chickpeas, lemon juice, parsley, and mint in a medium size bowl.
On medium-high heat, fry everything until the chickpeas start to soften (about 10 minutes). Cover, and set the heat on very low for 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve hot or cold. Great for picnics!
Variations: Add one more diced onion. Use olive, sesame, or safflower oil instead of peanut.
