I love chickpeas ;) What a great list of recipes, I'm bookmarking this for future reference ;)

You don't have a Chickpea Burger on there ~ I hope it's ok that I throw in a recipe that we love around here: Chickpea Burgers recipe that's vegetarian with a vegan option. xo

LOVE chickpeas

We eat plenty of chickpeas, but remember that there is huge controversy regarding BPA in the lining of cans. What I use instead is dried chickpeas, which I soak and boil over the weekend and freeze in 1-2 cup portions. Much healthier and just as easy for weeknight prep, plus they hold up much better in many recipes.

Great list, I love them too.
I made the braised coconut chickpea and spinach over sweet potato sat. is was delicious and nice as leftovers with some indian bread I picked up at the farmers market sunday.

I am eating leftovers of the braised coconut spinach chickpeas, it is amazing! Would highly recommend.

Concerning BPA - All of Eden Organic's canned beans are in BPA free cans, as another alternative.

ooh chickpea love! i love that flatbread stuffed with chickpeas idea!

Count me in amoungst the devoted chickpea fans. Thanks for the great list.

If you eat chickpeas regularly and have a slow cooker, it's MUCH cheaper to cook your own chickpeas and then freeze them in 2-cup (can-sized) jars. One pound of dry chickpeas yields about four pint jars of chickpeas. No BPA concerns, and when you need 'em it takes about 2 mins to defrost in microwave!

I've read that many of trader joe's beans are bpa free as well. However, we usually cook chickpeas because they are so much better freshly made. LOVE them.

That second recipe with the herbs and shallots is one of my favorite dishes. So good.

Here is our recipe for Cauliflower and chickpea stew with couscous.

What, no hummus recipes? Lol.

My favorite chickpea recipe is:

1 small onion, sliced and sauteed in olive oil
2 cans (12 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
1 can chickpeas (or 2 cups cooked from dried), with liquid

Once the onions are soft I add everything else and heat until the chickpeas are a little more tender than straight out of the can. Top with a little grated parmesan or romano and serve with bread and you're set. You can add garlic or shallot if you want. My mom adds leftover chicken, but I like it better without. It tastes like delicious hot summer in the middle of winter. Very comforting.

Just 'can' your own chickpeas to avoid the BPA. Soak em, cook em, fill canning jars (leaving a finger-width gap at the top) and loosely tighten until frozen.

Just pull them out in the morning when you plan to cook with them. Much cheaper, and no BPA!

Hmm. I only see one recipe out of the ten that even contains cheese.

I also prefer soaking/cooking my chickpeas. Cheaper, and tastes better, too (just IMO). Petworthy, if you put them in your slow cooker, do you need to soak them first?

Thanks for some great looking recipes, Kitchn! :)

Thanks for this round up - I am super excited to work these into my lunch routine. I'm not sure I can convince my carnivore husband to eat a lot of these for dinner, but they look amazing and I'm going to try them all. I'm trying to figure out how I missed so many of them when they were first published... perhaps I was less veggie oriented a year or two ago than I realized!

Thanks for these recipes! Little Melly, you don't need to soak chickpeas if you cook them in a slow cooker. Just put it on low and they'll be ready in about three hours. Adding a tablespoon of baking soda to the water helps get them nice and soft.

I love Split Pea Dahl: http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/splitpeadahl.htm. It may not be completely authentic, but I love it!

I've made the Warm Chickpea Salad with Garlic and Cumin a couple of times since you first posted the recipe. It's delish and easy, and I strongly recommend it.

Did the braised coconut spinach with chick peas for dinner tonight over quinoa. Fantastic! Thank you again, Apartment Therapy for a delicious new meal.

Wow, this post couldn't have come at a better time. Husband and I vowed to eat more meatless dishes. I loooooove chickpeas and they're so filling. Last night I cooked this one:

Fantastic! Another one that's a constant standby and one of my favorite recipes ever?

I made the braised coconut spinach with chick peas two nights ago and the leftovers are already gone. My boyfriend, who prefers meat in his meals, thought that it was satisfying and that we should make it again.

I make myself a chickpea salad that is simply chopped shallots or onions, a couple cans of chickpeas, sushi vinegar, salt and pepper. It is better if you add lemon juice and some chopped crunchy veggies (carrots, celery, cucumbers, ... green onions are pretty good too), but when the fridge is bare ...

Other chickpea standby is to sprinkle a can of washed chickpeas with old bay and paprika, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, and then roast until they get smaller and crunchy. good as a snack and good as a meal on rice.

Chickpeas are the best. These look delicious!

If I want to make the curried chickpea stew on the stovetop how long would it take and how much should I increase the liquid?
