I stumbled upon a recipe for Spiced Chickpeas. Wow, these are a must-have in the fridge at all times. They will last for three to four days in the fridge, but you guessed it, they only lasted two days in mine – as I couldn’t resist and gobbled them all up.
Spiced Chickpeas are fabulous sprinkled over salads, eaten with steamed vegetables, added to soups, or garnished with hummus. The best way to eat them is on their own as a pre-dinner snack or as part of a tapas spread.
Spiced Chickpeas
480g cooked chickpeas (that’s roughly 200g dried chickpeas)
2 tsp fennel seeds
2.5 tsp cumin seeds
2.5 tsp coriander seeds
10 black peppercorns
3 cloves garlic minced
3 tsp finely chopped rosemary
2 – 3 tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp cayenne
¾ tsp salt
Big splash of olive oil
Once you have cooked the chickpeas, put them in a clean tea towel and rub off the skins.
Temper the fennel, cumin, coriander seeds and peppercorns by dry frying them for 1 to 2 minutes or until they smell fragrant.
Let the seeds cool a little, then grind them in a mortar or spice grinder.
Add a splash of olive oil to a frying pan, heat it up a little, and then add the garlic, salt, and rosemary. Cook and stir for a few minutes or until the garlic seems soft.
Add the rest of the ingredients, including the ground spices, and cook for a further minute.
Mix in the chickpeas and cook until they are fully warmed through and coated with the spices.
Salad ideas to add the spiced chickpeas to…
Rocket, grilled zucchini and roast beetroot.
Broccoli, ruby grapefruit and mint.
Tomato, cucumber, red capsicum and grilled mushroom

The spiced chickpeas sound wonderful. Recently I discovered chocolate chickpeas which were also a treat. I love chocolate covered pretzels and these had the same crunch factor I love. Happy holidays
