More About This Recipe

  • If there were a world-wide popularity contest for most consumed bean (can we make that a thing?), garbanzo beans would win, hands down. As popular as they are, the question still remains: what is the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea? While garbanzo is the Spanish term for this fiber-packed, slightly nutty-tasting legume, chickpea is the English term, making them synonymous. Regardless of what you call them, these versatile little beans are fantastic simmered in a savory curry, roasted as a salty snack, smashed into a delicious dip, or tossed into a fresh chickpea salad. Needless to say, once you’ve had even a handful of garbanzo bean recipes, you still haven’t had them all.
