CHICKPEAS WITH MINT, SCALLIONS AND CILANTRO
Chickpeas (garbanzos) always taste better cooked from scratch, but unlike other beans, you do have to soak them overnight. Then it's a simple matter of simmering for about 45 minutes. Cooked chickpeas will keep up to 5 days stored in their cooking liquid in the refrigerator. The combination of warm beans and cool herbs makes a great side dish.
