CRISP SPICED CHICKPEAS
Canned chickpeas bear a closer resemblance to cooked-from-dried than any other canned bean: They're sturdy enough to withstand additional cooking without falling apart. Even after a 20-minute sizzle in a skillet with olive oil, they stay intact, their exteriors turning crunchy while their insides become creamy. Serve these as a party snack instead of roasted nuts, and you'll have a hit. (The New York Times)

COUSCOUS & ROASTED SPICED CHICKPEAS & PINE NUTS
This is a great flavourful vegetarian dish or serve along side meat or seafood. You can use regular couscous but the large grain Israeli couscous is the best I think. If you use the Israeli couscous increase the water to 3 cups and cook till done, drain if necessary, I slightly saute the spinach for mine.
