SAUTéED ZUCCHINI & CHICKPEAS



Sautéed Zucchini & Chickpeas image

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.

CRUNCHY ROASTED ZA'ATAR CHICKPEAS



Crunchy Roasted Za'atar Chickpeas image

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.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups cooked chickpeas, rinsed if canned
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons za'atar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

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.
