Best 6 Chickpeas With Chard Recipes

MOROCCAN CHICKPEAS WITH CHARD

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over high heat. Add onion and jalapeño and sauté until limp, 3 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, salt, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper and cayenne and sauté until they release their fragrance, about 2 minutes. Add tomato paste and sauté for another minute, until darkened but not burned. (If tomato paste looks too dark too quickly, lower heat.)
• Add fennel, chard stems, carrot and turnip and continue to sauté until vegetables start to soften, about 10 minutes. Add chickpeas and water to barely cover.
• Return heat to high if you lowered it and bring to a simmer. Partly cover pot, lower heat to medium low, and simmer for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until chickpeas are softened. Add more water if needed (this should be like a stew).
• Add chard leaves, apricots and preserved lemon to pot and continue simmering until chard is tender, about 5 minutes longer. Season with more salt if desired, and serve garnished with cilantro and reserved fennel fronds.

CHICKPEAS WITH CHARD

Steps:

• Chop 1 bunch Swiss chard. Saute the stems with 1 each chopped onion and red jalapeno in olive oil over medium-high heat until softened, 3 minutes; season with salt. Add one 15-ounce can chickpeas (drained, liquid reserved); cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Add 2 minced garlic cloves; cook 30 seconds. Add the chard leaves along with the chickpea liquid and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin; simmer until the chard wilts. Stir in the juice of 1/2 lemon.

CHICKPEAS AND CHARD WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high. Add lemon and halved onion, cut side down, and 2 garlic cloves and cook, turning garlic occasionally, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Add bay leaves and chickpeas; add water to cover by 1". Bring to a boil and skim surface. Reduce heat, cover, and gently simmer 30 minutes. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt and continue to simmer until chickpeas are tender, 10-20 minutes. Remove from heat; discard lemon, onion, and bay leaves.
• Meanwhile, heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium. Add chopped onion, chile, baharat, and remaining 4 garlic cloves; season with salt. Cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 8-10 minutes. Add Swiss chard ribs and stems and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-8 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer chickpeas to skillet. Add cooking liquid to cover; bring to a simmer. Gradually add chard leaves, stirring until slightly wilted before adding more. Add barberries; cook until leaves are wilted, 5-8 minutes.
• With mixture at a gentle simmer, use a spoon to make 8 indentations. Crack an egg into each and simmer until whites are almost entirely opaque, about 10 minutes. Cover pan and cook just until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes. Season eggs with salt.
• Spoon chickpeas and chard into bowls, top with eggs, labneh, and marjoram, and season with pepper.

SHAKSHUKA WITH CHICKPEAS AND SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Add the eggs (in their shells) to a large bowl of warm water and set aside. This will bring the eggs to room temperature and make for more even cooking.
• Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add the harissa, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss to coat the onion. Add the cherry tomatoes, chickpeas with their liquid and 1/4 cup water. Increase the heat to medium high, stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Add the Swiss chard in batches, stirring until wilted before adding more. Continue cooking until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Remove the eggs from the water and crack them into a bowl or large spouted measuring cup. Make 8 wells in the tomato mixture and gently slip 1 egg into each well.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the egg whites are fully set and firm to the touch, 8 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, put the bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Top the shakshuka with the parsley. Divide among shallow bowls or plates; serve with the bread and more harissa.

CHICK-PEAS AND SWISS CHARD

Steps:

• Cook onion and garlic in oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add tomato and chick-peas and cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Add Swiss chard and cook, covered, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

ROASTED CHICKPEAS WITH CHARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F In an 8x8x2 baking dish, combine chickpeas, chopped shallot, 2 bay leaves, 5 cloves garlic, and fennel seed. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Pour 1/2 cup olive oil over bean mixture and cover dish with foil. Place dish in oven and roast until garlic is tender, about 45 minutes. Pour chickpea mixture into a sieve placed over a bowl and drain; remove bay leaves. Reserve oil.
• In a large skillet with a lid, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add remaining garlic and bay leaves and the sliced shallot. Cover and cook until shallot is tender, about 2 minutes. Add half the chard and toss with tongs until the leaves wilt slightly, about 2 minutes. Add remaining chard and toss until wilted. Pour stock into skillet and simmer over low heat until chard is tender, about 10 minutes. Drain chard and discard liquids. Wipe skillet clean.
• Place skillet back over medium heat. Add chickpeas and chard to the skillet, using reserved oil to moisten as necessary (I use about 2-3 Tbsp.). Saute until combined and heated through, about 5 minutes.
