Fried Chick Peas
Ingredients
1 1/2 cup dried chick peas
1 medium onion, diced
3 tbsp peanut oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp dried parsley
2 tsp dried mint
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp ground cumin seed
Preparation
1) Soak the chick peas overnight in lots of water. Then bring to a
boil, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours.
2) Mix the onions and spices together in a small bowl. Using a
non-stick pan, then fry in the oil until the onions are brown (5 to
10 minutes).
3) Thoroughly mix the fried onion, cooked chick peas, lemon juice,
parsley, and mint in a medium size bowl.
4) On medium-high heat, fry everything until the chick peas start to
soften (about 10 minutes). Cover, and set the heat on very low for 15
to 20 minutes.
5) Serve hot or cold. Great for picnics!
** Variations **
Add one more diced onion. Use olive, sesame, or safflower oil instead
of peanut.
