CRISPY CHICKPEAS WITH BEEF



Crispy Chickpeas With Beef image

Related to a classic chili, this fast-cooking recipe combines legumes, meat and spices, with excellent results. This dish works equally well with canned or home-cooked chickpeas; if you like a bit more kick, double or triple the ancho chiles or chile powder. Turmeric or saffron also work well. Don't want to use ground beef? Ground turkey, chicken or pork would sub in well here; add a little oil to the pan first. For a bit more flavor, add a clove or two of chopped garlic to the browning meat. The point is: improvise.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 to 1 pound ground beef or other meat
4 cups cooked chickpeas (about 1 28-ounce can), drained (reserve 1 cup liquid)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 ancho or chipotle chile, soaked, stemmed, seeded and minced; or 1 teaspoon good chile powder
2 teaspoons minced garlic
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Minced cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Turn heat to high under a large, deep skillet, and add meat a little at a time, breaking it into small pieces as you do. Stir and break up meat a bit more, then add chickpeas. Keep heat high, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until chickpeas begin to brown and pop, 5 to 10 minutes. Don't worry if mixture sticks a bit, but if it begins to scorch, lower heat slightly.
  • Add cumin, chili or chili powder and garlic. Cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add reserved cooking liquid, and stir, scraping bottom of pan to loosen any browned bits. Season with salt and pepper, then turn heat to medium-low. Continue to cook until mixture is no longer soupy but not dry.
  • Stir in olive oil, then taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish if you like, and serve immediately, with rice or pita bread.

Tips for Making Beef and Chickpea Patties:

- Choose Lean Ground Beef: Opt for lean ground beef with a fat content of 90% or higher to minimize excess grease in the patties. - Soak Chickpeas Overnight: Soaking chickpeas overnight not only reduces cooking time but also makes them easier to digest and blend into the patties. - Use a Food Processor: For a smooth and uniform texture, use a food processor to blend the chickpeas until they reach a fine consistency. - Add Vegetables for Extra Nutrition: Enhance the nutritional value of the patties by incorporating finely chopped vegetables like carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers. - Season Generously: Don't be afraid to add a variety of seasonings to the patty mixture. Common spices include cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic powder, and salt. - Form Even Patties: To ensure even cooking, shape the patties into uniform sizes and thicknesses. Use a burger press or your hands to achieve the desired shape. - Pan-Fry or Bake: Cook the patties either in a pan with a little oil over medium heat or bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes. - Serve with Healthy Sides: Complement the patties with healthy side dishes such as a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or whole-grain bread or buns. ###
