Ingredients
- Dressing
- 1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Zest of half a lemon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon superfine sugar
- 1 garlic clove, peeled and smashed
- Salt and pepper
- Chickpeas
- 1 14 oz can chickpeas, drained but still wet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Spice Mix
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Salad
- 2 medium cucumbers , diced
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced
- 1 small red onion, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup coriander leaves , roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup parsley , roughly chopped
How to Make
-
Step 1: Combine the Dressing ingredients in a jar and shake. Set aside for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
-
Step 2: Place chickpeas in a large bowl. Sprinkle with spice mix, then toss to coat. The wetness of the chickpeas will make the spices stick.
-
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over high heat and fry the chickpeas for a couple of minutes. Shake the pan so the chickpeas roll, or stir gently (so the spice coating doesn't come off). Transfer into bowl and cool slightly.
-
Step 4: Combine the remaining Ingredients in a bowl. Drizzle with a bit of Dressing and toss. Transfer to serving bowl.
-
Step 5: Top salad with chickpeas (warm or at room temperature). Drizzle with more Dressing. Toss very gently, if desired (don't toss too much otherwise spice comes off chickpeas). Serve immediately.
