This is really more of a chickpea compote! I love this and make it with tons of variations. Here's the basic recipe. I serve these with toasted pita triangles brushed with olive oil and dusted with cumin and kosher salt. this is great for informal gatherings or parties when you need to bring a dish. You could easily make lots of this and I often do. Mmmm!! Add the peppers if you want-just depends on whether you like peppers! the ingredients say red and green ones, but I've added orange and yellow as well. This is an add/delete kind of recipe-keep changing it little by little as you make it! Ingredients:
6 -8 roma tomatoes, diced |
2 -3 limes, juice of |
1 medium red onion, medium dice |
1 -2 cup canned chick-peas, drained |
1 -2 cup canned black beans, drained |
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil (or more to taste) |
kosher salt |
fresh ground black pepper |
2 -4 minced garlic cloves (to taste) (optional) |
green pepper, diced (optional) |
red pepper, diced (optional) |
1 -2 green onion, sliced thin (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix together all ingredients. 2. Marinate for at least an hour-but I usually can't wait if it's just for me! |
