If you happen to find fresh chickpeas in pods as I did recently, this is a good way to prepare them. Be forewarned that shelling these peas is a bit tedious, so grab a comfy chair and a couple of bowls before starting.
Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
Ingredients:
- 10-12 oz chickpeas in pods
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp oregano
- 1/8 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- lemon slices
Directions:
- Remove shells from chickpeas.
- In large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil
- Add shelled chickpeas.
- Saute 3 minutes. Add oregano, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Saute another 3 minutes, or until tender.
- Serve with lemon slices.
