MARINATED CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• If using dried chickpeas, soak the chickpeas in water overnight and drain.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the yellow onion, celery stalk, and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes, until the vegetables begin to color. Tie 2 sprigs of rosemary and the thyme sprigs in cheesecloth and add to the vegetables. Add the chickpeas (soaked dried or canned) and enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to medium-low. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 1 1/2 hours, until the chickpeas are soft. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside to cool completely. Drain, discarding vegetables and herbs.
• In a bowl, combine the red onion and vinegar, and set aside for 15 minutes. Drain the onion and transfer to a large bowl. Add the diced celery, garlic, peperoncini, chickpeas, remaining 2 sprigs rosemary, oregano, parsley, remaining 1 cup oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, making sure to turn the mixture a couple of times while marinating. Allow the salad to come to room temperature before serving. Keeps well if refrigerated up to 3 to 4 days.

SPICY CHICKPEAS WITH GINGER

Steps:

• Drain the chickpeas. Put them in a saucepan, cover with 3 quarts fresh water, and boil for 10 minutes. Skim off any foam that collects on the surface, then lower the heat. Add the garlic, parsley, onion and oil. Simmer, partly covered, until the peas are almost tender, about 45 minutes. Add the salt, and continue cooking until the peas are completely tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes more. Strain, reserving the broth. This should yield about 3 cups chickpeas.
• For the sauce, warm the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until well browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Lower the heat, and add the bay leaf, garlic, ginger, spices, salt, pepper and two-thirds of the diced tomatoes. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the reserved chickpea broth and the chickpeas. Simmer until the liquid is reduced to a saucelike consistency. Adjust the seasonings, and add lemon juice to taste. Serve accompanied by the remaining diced tomato, diced onion, minced jalapeno and chopped cilantro or scatter them over the chickpeas.
