SPICY CHICKPEAS WITH GINGER
This recipe, adapted from Deborah Madison's "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone," takes dried chickpeas, soaked overnight, and pairs them with a sauce built on the robust, aromatic flavors of grated ginger, ground coriander, cumin and cardamom. It's an easy, Middle Eastern-tinged weeknight meal. As the chickpeas cook, prepare the sauce, and top with diced tomato, onion, jalapeƱo for added bite.

Steps:
- Drain the chickpeas. Put them in a saucepan, cover with 3 quarts fresh water, and boil for 10 minutes. Skim off any foam that collects on the surface, then lower the heat. Add the garlic, parsley, onion and oil. Simmer, partly covered, until the peas are almost tender, about 45 minutes. Add the salt, and continue cooking until the peas are completely tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes more. Strain, reserving the broth. This should yield about 3 cups chickpeas.
- For the sauce, warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until well browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Lower the heat, and add the bay leaf, garlic, ginger, spices, salt, pepper and two-thirds of the diced tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add the reserved chickpea broth and the chickpeas. Simmer until the liquid is reduced to a saucelike consistency. Adjust the seasonings, and add lemon juice to taste. Serve accompanied by the remaining diced tomato, diced onion, minced jalapeno and chopped cilantro or scatter them over the chickpeas.

COCONUT-GINGER CHICKPEAS & TOMATOES
This is my go-to quick dish. When you add tomatoes, you can also toss in some chopped green peppers (jalapenos, if you like heat) to make it even more colorful. -Mala Udayamurthy, San Jose, California

GINGERY MARINATED CHICKPEAS
This is best when made several days before eaten. Put on top of salad greens, or on mixed with hot rice. You may use canned chick peas for this. I got this from an old notebook which I had written recipes in a long time ago. I suspect it comes from Moosewood cookbook. Prep time does not include cooking of chickpeas.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, then cook cumin, coriander, ginger, red-pepper flakes, and cinnamon stick, stirring constantly, until fragrant and a shade darker, about 2 minutes.
- Add tomatoes with juices, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon, then add chickpeas. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick.
- Stir in parsley and mint. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are best, as they have a better texture and flavor than canned chickpeas. If using canned chickpeas, be sure to rinse and drain them well before using.
- Soak the chickpeas overnight: Soaking the chickpeas overnight will help them cook more evenly and quickly. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices in this recipe give it a delicious flavor. Be sure to use a good quality garam masala, as it will make a big difference in the taste of the dish.
- Don't overcook the chickpeas: Chickpeas should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. Overcooked chickpeas will lose their flavor and texture.
- Serve with rice or naan: This dish is traditionally served with rice or naan. It can also be served with quinoa or other whole grains.
Conclusion:
This gingery chickpeas in spicy tomato sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make vegan dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal or a potluck. The chickpeas are simmered in a flavorful tomato sauce with ginger, garlic, and spices. The dish is served with rice or naan. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
