Espinacas con Garbanzos
Seville's spinach and chickpea stew, Moorish in its roots and eaten through Lent in every tapas bar — the sauce is thickened with bread fried in olive oil and pounded with garlic, cumin, smoked paprika and sherry vinegar.
Chana Masala
The Punjabi chickpea curry eaten across North India, from street stalls to home kitchens: chickpeas simmered in a tangy onion and tomato masala with ginger, green chilli and warm spices, finished with lemon and coriander.
Harira
The Moroccan soup that breaks the Ramadan fast — lamb, lentils and chickpeas in a tomato broth spiced with ginger, cinnamon and turmeric, thickened at the end with a flour paste and finished with fresh coriander and lemon.
Moroccan Couscous with Seven Vegetables
Morocco's Friday couscous — fluffy steamed couscous heaped with lamb and seven vegetables simmered in a saffron, ginger and turmeric broth that is ladled over at the table. A whole family's meal from one pot.
Buddha Bowl
A one-bowl meal built in sections — quinoa, spice-roasted sweet potato and chickpeas, raw red cabbage, carrot, spinach and avocado — pulled together by a lemon and garlic tahini dressing.
Koshari
Cairo's street-food staple — rice, lentils and pasta with chickpeas under a sharp garlic-and-vinegar tomato sauce and a heap of crisp fried onions. Meatless and cheap, it fills Egyptian bowls through every fast.
Roasted Cauliflower Salad
Cauliflower roasted hard until the edges blacken, with tahini, pomegranate and herbs.
Hummus
Chickpeas blended with a large amount of good tahini, lemon and garlic — smooth because the chickpeas are overcooked, not underblended.
Couscous Salad
Fluffy couscous with roasted peppers, chickpeas, herbs and preserved lemon.
Chickpea Salad
Chickpeas with cucumber, tomato, red onion and herbs in a lemon dressing — a fifteen-minute lunch that keeps.
Falafel
Fried chickpea fritters — made from soaked raw chickpeas, never tinned, which is why they hold together and stay light.
Creamy Coconut Chickpea Curry
A rich, fragrant curry simmered in coconut milk with tender chickpeas. One-pot, completely dairy-free, and ready in 30 minutes.
