Chick Pea Recipes

A delicious tomato based stew with chunks of lamb and filling chickpeas.

Original recipe called for quinoa, but I didn't have any in the house. Quite spicy with the cayenne.

If you don't like the bitterness of tahini and want something creamy and light, this might be the hummus for you. The aquafaba in canned chick peas takes the place of most of the olive oil, decreasing the calories without sacrificing flavor.

Chick pea and veggie salad

Light summer salad

Inspired from another recipe on this site, this dish is low in calories and fat, and high in protein! I threw this together with what I had on hand. A nice and easy pasta with garbanzo beans, cheese and fresh veggies!! Easily vegetarian by using veggie bouillon instead of chicken.

I haven't tried this yet, it is from Besthealthmag.ca

A filling meal! Makes 3 servings so it can be dinner-for-two and then leftovers for someone's lunch. Or, if you're feeling quite hungry, you can both have a small 'seconds' but if you do so, put 1.5 servings each in your nutrition tracker.

Wow is this good on a cold cold day. I had a box of organic corn soup hanging out so I threw it in.

A Bean Salad you can use to top Brown Rice or Quinoa. Don't forget to add these to your tracking whether you use quinoa or rice. This recipe is packed with Protein/Fiber. One serving size is half a cup. You should end up with 4 cups a batch (hence 8 servings). Of course you can dramatically reduce the sodium if you use bagged beans and cook them yourself, but this is a time-saving recipe.

Vegan, gluten-free, satisfying mean.

This is a wonderful and simple salad that can stand on it's own or as a side dish with almost any meal.

Delicous chunky chick pea soup with moroccan spices... delicious and healthy!! This has just become my favourite soup of all time. Delicious! (Did i forget to mention that part?)

These are great alone but could be served like burgers.

Quick vegetarian stir fry with protein from Chick Peas and Quinoa

Healthy basic salad for snacking on the weekends.

This is a favourite after-school snack in Kerala homes. High in protein and fibre, it kept us kids going those extra hours until dinner - often eaten at 8 p.m. or later!

This recipe is a basic one - feel free to experiment with other spice mixes that you prefer!

If you're doing a web search for other variants, try the name "sundal" as well as "chundal" ... different dialects.

The calculated sodium count is much lower if you rinse the chick peas in cool water.

If you love Chinese food like I do and you tend to go for the crab rangoon here is a better for you alternative that still tastes great and is easy to make.

All I can say is oh my GOD did this smell awesome as it cooked! This is a super flavourful chicken broth with saffron and both smoked and sweet Spanish paprika, a whole Spanish onion, crumbled bacon, chorizo, leftover roast chicken, chickpeas, green peas, Arborio rice and a roasted red pepper and garlic paste.
