CURRIED CHICKPEA SALAD PITAS

Steps:

• Add the mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, honey, salt and pepper to a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the chickpeas and pulse until the chickpeas are slightly smashed, 5 or 6 more times.
• Empty the mixture into a serving bowl. Fold in the raisins and cilantro until everything is fully coated. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve in a pita with cabbage mix and Ryan's Pickled Onions.
• Add the onions, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, salt and 1 cup water to a glass pint jar. Stir or shake well to mix. Let marinate overnight in the refrigerator, then keep for up to a month in the fridge.

CURRIED PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Briefly rinse frozen peas under water to thaw slightly. While peas sit,
• mix all ingredients except almonds. Allow to sit at least 30 min for flavors to meld.
• Before serving, add crushed almonds. Mix some almonds in peas, sprinkle some on top.
• Store in covered container.

CURRY PEA SALAD WITH ALMONDS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and toast almonds on a cookie sheet (about 10 min). Let cool and then chop.
• Combine FROZEN peas, green onions, 3/4 of the almonds, and water chestnuts. In a separate bowl combine and mix the mayonnaise and curry powder. Fold mayonnaise mixture into the peas. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
• Add the remaining almonds right before you serve.

CURRIED POTATO AND PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes. Put them in a large pot and add enough lightly salted water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring the water to a rolling boil and add 1 teaspoon of the salt. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool to room temperature. Chop into bite-size pieces, place them in a large bowl and add the peas.
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, curry powder, cumin, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper. Whisk until smooth. Pour over potatoes and peas, add scallions and toss gently to combine well. Cover and chill until shortly before serving time.

CURRIED CHICKPEA SALAD

Steps:

• Heat a sauté pan large enough to easily hold the beans over medium heat. When hot, add the oil to heat, then add the onion and sauté until deeply colored, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring periodically.
• Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander and cayenne pepper (if using) and continue to sauté until the spices are aromatic and a bit toasted, about 3 minutes.
• Add the chickpeas, lemon juice, salt and pepper and cook for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
• Remove from heat and cool. Store in the refrigerator, or mix in the fresh cilantro or parsley and serve immediately.
