The best simple garbanzo bean / chick-pea recipe?

Question

I am going to a pot-luck party where everyone has to bring something made from (or with) garbanzo beans (or chick peas as some people call them). I'd like to bring something other than hummus but want to do something simple. Any good ideas?

Answer 1

Drain and dry them well in a clean kitchen towel. Put just a little olive oil in a pan, add the chick peas and toast until crispy over medium heat. Add salt and pepper to taste. You can add chili powder, paprika or herbs. Or add herbs and parmesan cheese. Put them in a bowl and serve as an appetizer.

Answer 3

Make this recipe, but put in a can of garbanzos instead of the kidneys or the wax beans. Classic!

1/2 pound green beans, trimmed, cut in half crosswise
1/2 pound wax beans, trimmed cut in half crosswise
One 15-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed, and drained
1/2 small red onion, minced, soaked in cold water for 5 minutes and drained
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Set up a large bowl of ice water. Add the fresh beans to the boiling water, and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and plunge the beans into the ice water to stop the cooking and set their color. Drain.
In a medium bowl, combine the beans and the onion. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar, vinegar, oil, and salt to a simmer. Pour the liquid over the beans. Marinate the beans at room temperature for 1 hour, tossing several times. Just before serving, season with salt and pepper to taste, add the parsley. Serve.
