CRISPY CHICKPEAS WITH BEEF



Crispy Chickpeas With Beef image

Related to a classic chili, this fast-cooking recipe combines legumes, meat and spices, with excellent results. This dish works equally well with canned or home-cooked chickpeas; if you like a bit more kick, double or triple the ancho chiles or chile powder. Turmeric or saffron also work well. Don't want to use ground beef? Ground turkey, chicken or pork would sub in well here; add a little oil to the pan first. For a bit more flavor, add a clove or two of chopped garlic to the browning meat. The point is: improvise.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 to 1 pound ground beef or other meat
4 cups cooked chickpeas (about 1 28-ounce can), drained (reserve 1 cup liquid)
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 ancho or chipotle chile, soaked, stemmed, seeded and minced; or 1 teaspoon good chile powder
2 teaspoons minced garlic
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Minced cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Turn heat to high under a large, deep skillet, and add meat a little at a time, breaking it into small pieces as you do. Stir and break up meat a bit more, then add chickpeas. Keep heat high, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until chickpeas begin to brown and pop, 5 to 10 minutes. Don't worry if mixture sticks a bit, but if it begins to scorch, lower heat slightly.
  • Add cumin, chili or chili powder and garlic. Cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add reserved cooking liquid, and stir, scraping bottom of pan to loosen any browned bits. Season with salt and pepper, then turn heat to medium-low. Continue to cook until mixture is no longer soupy but not dry.
  • Stir in olive oil, then taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish if you like, and serve immediately, with rice or pita bread.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/2 cups dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
4 garlic cloves
2 sprigs parsley
1 onion, quartered
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons sea salt
3 tablespoons mustard oil or vegetable oil
1 large onion, finely diced
1 bay leaf
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons grated ginger
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tomatoes, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups chickpea broth or water
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

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.

One of my clients gave me a shorter version of this recipe before I left work for the day. Added a couple of things to it and loved it. Thanks a lot, Laurie. You were right -- good meal! This sauce goes well with rice or with pita bread. What's great about this recipe is you can add as much spice as you would like.

CURRIED CHICKPEAS WITH CILANTRO



Curried Chickpeas With Cilantro image

I love this recipe. It is my own creation, informed by dal and curry recipes I've made in the past. It's pretty easy, and great if you are craving Indian food. You can use canned or cooked chickpeas and adjust the spices to your preferences. The cooking time doesn't include the time required to soak and cook dry chickpeas. I don't like to use salt in dishes, but you may choose to add salt to enhance the flavor.

Categories     Curries

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil (may substitute coconut oil, or any vegetable oil)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons brown mustard seeds
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
4 tablespoons water
4 cups chickpeas, cooked (2-15.5 oz. cans)

Steps:

  • If you are using dry chickpeas, soak and cook them, according to the package directions. (This requires overnight soaking, followed by boiling for about 1 hour.) If you are using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them.
  • In a 2 quart saucepan, saute onion, garlic, pepper, cardamom, cumin, corriander, curry powder, tumeric, and mustard seeds in oil. (If the spices start to stick and burn on the bottom of the pan, add a little water.).
  • When the onions are soft, add the cilantro. Adding water as necessary, stir constantly to cook the cilantro, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add chickpeas. Stir and cook until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve over brown rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chickpeas: Use dried chickpeas for the best texture and flavor. If using canned chickpeas, rinse them well before using.
  • Soak the chickpeas overnight: This will help them to 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 are just a suggestion. Feel free to experiment with different spices to create your own unique flavor profile.
  • 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 the chickpeas immediately: Chickpeas are best served hot or warm. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them gently before serving.

Conclusion:

This spicy chickpeas with beef and cilantro recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chickpeas are tender and flavorful, the beef is juicy and succulent, and the cilantro adds a fresh, bright flavor. Serve this dish with rice or naan bread, and you'll have a meal that the whole family will enjoy.
