New year, needs new habits, not new resolutions. Resolutions are easy to break, habits are hard to break, so I've decided not to make any resoultion this year but to create new habits. One habit is to have atleat two dinners per week be some kind of salad. Thus the latest recipe from the kitch of Darn Hot Peppers Northwest.
Chickpea salad with roasted ancho peppers
Soak chickpeas overnight if possible. If you dont have time to soak use canned chickpeas, nut I like to buy a one pound bag and make hummus from whatever I dont use for the salad.
Ingredients:
- 2 large ancho peppers, roasted and skinned
- 3 cups of cooked chickpeas or 2 cans
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 4 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of cilantro, chopped
- 1 small tomatillo, diced
- 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon Darn Hot Peppers Herb Shaker
in place of salt
Instructions:
Cut the peppers into half-inch wide strips and put them in a large bowl together with the chickpeas, herbs and the diced tomatillo. In another bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, salt, garlic and oil. Pour over the chickpea mixture and combine. Serve immediately, or refrigerate it and serve in no longer than 24 hours.
I like to eat w/ fresh flour tortillas and a tamarindo Jarritos.
serves 3-4
