Curried Chickepeas
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 4 teaspoons best-quality olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste
- Salt
- 1. In a large saute pan heated over medium-high heat, saute the onion in the olive oil until deep golden and crispy, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
- 2. Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and cayenne pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic and lightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
- 3. Add the chickpeas, cilantro and lemon juice and continue to stir to develop the flavors, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and season with one-fourth teaspoon salt, or to taste.
- 4. Cool the salad, then transfer it to a container, cover and refrigerate until chilled before serving, at least 30 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning and lemon juice as desired. This makes just over 3 cups salad.
