Transform a pound of dried chickpeas into a flavorful and versatile meal prep option. These chickpeas are perfect for salads, bowls, or wraps, providing a protein-packed foundation for your week's worth of meals.
Ingredients: 1 lb dried chickpeas. Water for soaking. 2 tbsp olive oil. 1 onion, finely chopped. 3 cloves garlic, minced. 1 tsp cumin powder. 1 tsp coriander powder. 1/2 tsp turmeric powder. 1/2 tsp smoked paprika. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh parsley for garnish.
Instructions: After rinsing, soak the dried chickpeas in water for the entire night. After soaking, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Warm up the olive oil in a big pot on medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and saut until they become soft. Add the smoked paprika, turmeric, coriander, and cumin. Stir the soaked chickpeas in the pot to ensure they are well coated with the spices. Bring the chickpeas to a boil after adding enough water to cover them. The chickpeas should be tender after 60 to 75 minutes of simmering, covered, and reducing heat. To taste, add salt and pepper for seasoning. Before dividing the chickpeas among meal prep containers, let them cool. Before serving, garnish with fresh parsley. Keep refrigerated and utilize for multiple meals during the week.
