Title: Tinned Chick Peas
Post by: Razor on August 07, 2010, 02:02 PM

Ok guy's,

I bought a tin of brown chick peas a few weeks back on my visit to my local Asian SM. I've have no idea why, nor do I have any idea as to what to do with them.  Everytime I open my cupboard, they are there, staring at me, and they are beginning to get on my tits now.

Anybody have any ideas, as to what I can do with them?

How about blending them with a bit olive oil, some garlic, maybe a 1/2 tsp of cumin, and you have hummus (even better with some tahini paste or maybe some toasted sesame seeds).

Hi Stehen,

The thought had crossed my mind, but having tried it in Cyprus, I wasn't too keen but thanks for the suggestion mate.

I was going to say to use them in a veg curry to bulk out the dish and add protein to the dish

Hi Chef,

It's a good call, and next time I do the other half a veggie bhuna, I think I'll slip some of these bad boy's in there.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ray :)

You could just add them to your favourite curry dish as an extra. They work in Samosas too.
