What is your favorite dish/recipe with chickpeas? I just cooked a huge pot of dried garbanzos so now I have a to use. I'm going to make hummus and I know that they can be frozen, but I'd really like to eat off of them for the next couple of days.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Mmmm, I make a mean hummus...I'm drooling just thinking about it...

Do you like Indian food? A lot of the vegetarian Indian dishes have chickpeas in them. A good one might be chana masala (like a curry) or chana saag aloo (chickpeas with spinach and potatoes). You could look up anything with chana in the title, really...chana is chickpea.

I like them in tossed salads. You can also roast them (toss with olive or other oil, spices -- like you would potatoes or veggies that you wanted to roast) and eat them as a snack. Or put them in soups!

Burgers. I meant to post this for another thread a while back, but time got away with me....

~3 cups garbanzo beans, mashed. Saute some zucchini, grated carrot, mushrooms, red onion- add to beans. I throw in some cumin. Next mix in about 1/4 flour or ground oats. Shape into patties. Fry in hot olive oil on either side til browned. We put them on buns with lettuce, onion and tomato-with some mango/ginger sauce. My partner prefers them on pitas. I spead a little cream cheese into the pita and it goes so well with the mango/ginger sauce. Just fold in half and eat like taco. My boys just turned 6 and this is one of their favorites
