CHICKPEAS WITH MINT, SCALLIONS AND CILANTRO
Chickpeas (garbanzos) always taste better cooked from scratch, but unlike other beans, you do have to soak them overnight. Then it's a simple matter of simmering for about 45 minutes. Cooked chickpeas will keep up to 5 days stored in their cooking liquid in the refrigerator. The combination of warm beans and cool herbs makes a great side dish.

Steps:
- Pour soaked chickpeas into a colander to drain and put in a medium-size soup pot. Add water to cover by 1 inch and bring to a boil. Add onion, bay leaves, cinnamon and 2 teaspoons salt. Skim off and discard any rising foam. Lower heat and simmer gently for about 45 minutes, until tender. (May prepare in advance and reheat).
- Drain hot chickpeas (reserve broth for another purpose, such as soup) and discard onion and aromatics. Return chickpeas to pot and add olive oil and turmeric or saffron, stirring to distribute. Taste for salt and adjust.
- Transfer to a warm serving bowl. Mix mint, scallions and cilantro together and sprinkle over top. Serve warm.
