SAUTéED ZUCCHINI & CHICKPEAS
A simple recipe which I found in the June 2002 issue of the 'Australian Good Taste' magazine, in a bring-a-dish for eight menu plan. Obviously, the recipe can be scaled down. The recipe specifies that it can be made "up to an hour before serving", but I cannot see why it couldn't be made further ahead than that. When I make this, I'll be adding chopped onions and garlic in step two, and some lemon juice and dried thyme, probably when adding the chickpeas in step three.

Steps:
- Heat oil and butter in a deep (preferably non-stick) pan over a medium heat until it begins to foam.
- Add the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until slightly browned.
- Add the chickpeas.
- Place a circle of non-stick baking paper directly on the surface of the zucchini and chickpeas. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 8 minutes or until the zucchini is soft. Taste, and season with salt and pepper.
- To transport: Cool then place in an airtight container.
- To re-heat: Heat sautéed zucchini and chickpeas in a deep pan over a medium heat, stirring often, for 5-7 minutes or until heated through.
- Microwave reheating: Spoon the zucchini and chickpeas into a microwave-safe bowl, cover with lid or plastic wrap and heat on medium, stirring every minute, for 4-5 minutes or until heated through.

CRUNCHY ROASTED ZA'ATAR CHICKPEAS
Za'atar, a Middle Eastern spice mix made from dried thyme, sumac, and sesame seeds, gives these roasted chickpeas a fragrant, herbal, tangy bite. Unlike other similar recipes, the chickpeas are roasted without any oil, which is added after they come out of the oven. This allows the peas to crisp up without turning greasy. Do make sure to dry them out for an hour as directed, which adds to their crunchy texture. It's hard to stop eating these once you start, so if you're serving these to a group, consider making a double batch.

Steps:
- Spread out chickpeas on a paper towel. Pat dry, then let dry for about an hour.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a heavy rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper, and spread chickpeas evenly on the pan. Bake in the center of the oven until crunchy, about 30 minutes, stirring and rotating every 10 minutes. (The chickpeas will continue to get crunchy as they cool.)
- Place hot chickpeas in a bowl and drizzle with olive oil, za'atar and salt. Store any cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.

SAUTEED ZUCCHINI
This is a really easy recipe that tastes great. Fresh veggies in a light sautee. You can add a cup of cooked pasta if you wish to give it more heft as a side dish. We always make too much pasta during the week so this is a great way to work through some of the leftovers.
