CHICKPEAS WITH MINT, SCALLIONS AND CILANTRO



Chickpeas With Mint, Scallions and Cilantro image

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.
