CRISPY SPICED CHICKPEAS WITH PEPPERS AND TOMATOES



Crispy Spiced Chickpeas With Peppers and Tomatoes image

This vegetarian sheet-pan supper has verve to spare. You will need two sheet pans to make it, but that's about all the kitchen equipment necessary. On one of them, spice-coated chickpeas are roasted until golden and crisp, while juicy peppers, tomatoes and onions caramelize on the other. Handfuls of bright fresh herbs and sweet pomegranate seeds add color and crunch. Serve this by itself for a light dinner, or with couscous or rice for something more substantial.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and patted dry
1/2 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
6 fresh thyme sprigs
2 red, orange or yellow bell peppers (or a combination), stems and seeds removed, sliced lengthwise 1/4-inch thick
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1 small red onion, sliced
2 jalapeños, stem and seeds removed, sliced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 garlic clove, finely grated or mashed to a paste
1 cup fresh herbs (any combination of parsley, cilantro, mint or dill)
1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
Couscous or rice, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees and arrange racks on the top and bottom thirds of the oven.
  • In a large bowl, toss chickpeas with 2 tablespoons oil, the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly coated. Spread onto a rimmed sheet pan in a single layer and top with 3 thyme sprigs.
  • On a second sheet pan, combine bell peppers, tomatoes, onion, jalapeños and remaining thyme sprigs with 2 tablespoons oil and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spread vegetables into one layer.
  • Place chickpea pan on the bottom rack and vegetables on the top rack and roast for 10 minutes. Switch pan positions. Roast chickpeas until crisped but still tender, about 5 minutes, and roast vegetables until golden brown, about 10 minutes. If the vegetables are tender but not browned, place the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to caramelize. Discard thyme sprigs.
  • While the chickpeas and vegetables roast, whisk lemon juice, garlic and remaining 1/4 cup oil in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste.
  • Arrange vegetables on a large platter and drizzle with half the dressing, then top with crispy chickpeas, fresh herbs and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle remaining dressing over everything. Serve with couscous or rice, if you like.

CHANA MASALA (SAVORY INDIAN CHICK PEAS)



Chana Masala (Savory Indian Chick Peas) image

Indian food is not just curried sauces. It's not too exotic either. Unless 'exotic' is code for 'yummy and full of flavor.' This dish features a healthy mixture of chickpeas, tomatoes, onion, and spices. Both carnivores and vegetarians will enjoy this meal. My kids love it. Leave out the green chile if the kiddies will be eating. Serve over basmati or jasmine rice and enjoy. Namaste y'all!

SPICED CHICKPEAS WITH CAULIFLOWER AND ROASTED LEMON



Spiced Chickpeas With Cauliflower and Roasted Lemon image

In this hearty, meatless main course, chickpeas and potatoes are coated in a tomato-tinged spice paste and roasted until crunchy and browned. At the same time and in the same oven, cauliflower and tomatoes are cooked along with thinly sliced lemons until soft and caramelized. Just before serving, everything is tossed altogether and drizzled with an herbed, garlicky yogurt sauce. It's a complete and satisfying meal that's perfect for vegetable lovers. Meyer lemons work particularly well here because they are milder and sweeter than regular lemons. But use whichever you can find.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Kosher salt, as needed
1 lemon, preferably a Meyer lemon, thinly sliced and seeded
1 (2 1/4-pound) head of cauliflower, cut into bite-size pieces (about 8 cups)
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
2 jalapeños, seeded and thinly sliced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco or other hot sauce
3/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1 (14- to 16-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and blotted dry
1 pound baby or fingerling potatoes, cut into quarters
2 rosemary sprigs
3/4 cup plain whole-milk yogurt (or substitute soy, nut or coconut milk yogurt)
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill or mint, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
1 large garlic clove, finely grated or minced
Fresh lemon juice, as needed

Steps:

  • Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of oven and heat to 425 degrees. Bring a small pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add lemon slices and simmer until softened, about 5 minutes. Drain, pat dry with a clean kitchen towel and cut slices into quarters.
  • On a rimmed sheet pan, toss cauliflower, tomatoes and jalapeños with 1/4 cup oil and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fold in lemon slices. Place pan on bottom rack of oven and roast, tossing every 10 minutes, until well-browned, about 35 to 45 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup oil, cumin seeds, tomato paste, Tabasco, ground turmeric, cumin and coriander.
  • On a separate rimmed sheet pan, toss together chickpeas, potatoes, spice-oil mixture and salt to taste. Top with rosemary sprigs. Roast on top rack until potatoes are golden, 30 to 40 minutes, tossing mixture halfway through. Remove pan and toss with more salt to taste.
  • While everything is roasting, make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, dill, basil, parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste and add more salt or lemon if needed.
  • To serve, toss roasted chickpeas and potatoes with cauliflower mixture. Drizzle with more oil, yogurt sauce and herbs.

Tips:

  • For a crispier chickpea, roast them in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes before adding them to the curry.
  • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender to puree the tomatoes. Just be sure to blend them in batches and then pour them back into the pot.
  • This curry is also delicious served over rice or quinoa.
  • Serve the curry with a dollop of yogurt or sour cream, if desired.
  • To make a vegan version of this curry, use coconut milk instead of yogurt or sour cream.
  • If you like your curry spicy, add a teaspoon or two of cayenne pepper.
  • This curry can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Bombay Spiced Chickpeas and Tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make vegan curry that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chickpeas are roasted until crispy and then simmered in a creamy tomato sauce that is flavored with a blend of Indian spices.
