MARINATED WHITE BEANS
To add flavor to otherwise basic canned white beans, we start by slowly softening garlic in olive oil. Then we add more aromatics like rosemary and lemon zest to further infuse the oil. Tossed in this fragrant bath with fresh parsley and tomatoes, the beans can be served on-or with-just about anything, including toasted baguette slices or crackers for a snack, and salad greens plus crunchy vegetables (and a can of tuna or some cooked chicken) for a fast lunch. As a bonus, the beans will keep in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Steps:
- Combine the garlic and olive oil in a small skillet and set over low heat. Cook until the garlic begins to slowly sizzle, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes (don't let the garlic brown as it will become bitter). Increase the heat to medium and add the capers, lemon zest, rosemary, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine and return to a sizzle. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.
- Combine the beans, tomato and parsley in a medium serving bowl. Drizzle the warm garlic oil over and toss well. Season with salt as desired.
MARINATED CHICKPEAS
These marinated chickpeas are great on their own, but even better for bulking up salads into a full meal. Because the chickpeas soak in vinaigrette, there's typically no need to add any extra dressing when you combine them with other vegetables; they come with enough seasoning to flavor everything. Combine a cup of the dressed chickpeas with a cup of cooked whole grains (such as farro, barley, wheat berries or quinoa), a half cup of shredded carrots, a handful of minced fresh parsley, a pinch of cumin, plus some cayenne or harissa for heat. You could also stir together equal parts marinated chickpeas and diced fresh cucumber with some slivered red onions and chopped fresh dill, or massage some chopped kale with olive oil and a pinch of salt, then toss in a big scoop of marinated chickpeas and some crumbled feta or Cotija.

MARINATED CELERY SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS AND PARMESAN
Celery is an underappreciated vegetable that brings wonderful crunch, perfume and bitterness to a salad (and no wonder: It's related to carrots, parsley and fennel). Here it is front and center in a main-dish salad, especially satisfying with a poached egg or some charcuterie on the side. Buy full green heads of celery, not the pale hearts, and make sure the leaves are still attached. But if you can't find celery with leaves, chopped parsley is a reasonable substitute.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, maple syrup and a large pinch each of salt and pepper. Drop in garlic cloves, stir, and set aside 15 to 30 minutes to let the flavor infuse.
- Gradually whisk in oil; dressing will emulsify. Mix in chickpeas, celery and scallions. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Remove garlic cloves from dressing. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil. Set aside to come to cool room temperature.
- If desired, make croutons, for serving: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pull the soft bread out of the center of the loaf, leaving most of the crust behind, and tear bread into bite-size pieces. You should have about 3 cups. Spread pieces on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 12 minutes, until golden and crisp; let cool.
- Just before serving, mix celery leaves, tomatoes, basil and croutons, if using, into the salad. In a serving bowl, place a layer of greens, if using, in the bottom. Add celery mixture, then top with cheese and more black pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right chickpeas: For the best results, use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight. If you're short on time, you can use canned chickpeas, but be sure to rinse them well before using them.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chickpeas their delicious flavor, so be sure to use a combination of herbs, spices, and liquids that you enjoy. Some popular options include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and paprika.
- Marinate the chickpeas for at least 4 hours, or overnight: The longer the chickpeas marinate, the more flavor they will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate them for as little as 30 minutes, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Cook the chickpeas until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of chickpeas you are using. Dried chickpeas will take about 1 hour to cook, while canned chickpeas will only take about 15 minutes.
- Use the marinated chickpeas in a variety of dishes: Marinated chickpeas can be used in salads, soups, stews, and even as a snack. They are a versatile and delicious addition to any meal.
Conclusion:
Marinated chickpeas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With a little planning, you can easily make marinated chickpeas at home. Just be sure to choose the right chickpeas, use a flavorful marinade, and cook them until they are tender. Once you've mastered the basics, you can experiment with different flavors and ingredients to create your own unique marinated chickpea recipes.
