Steak With Garbanzo Beans Chickpeas Recipes

CRISPY CHICKPEAS WITH BEEF

Steps:

• Turn heat to high under a large, deep skillet, and add meat a little at a time, breaking it into small pieces as you do. Stir and break up meat a bit more, then add chickpeas. Keep heat high, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until chickpeas begin to brown and pop, 5 to 10 minutes. Don't worry if mixture sticks a bit, but if it begins to scorch, lower heat slightly.
• Add cumin, chili or chili powder and garlic. Cook, stirring, for about a minute. Add reserved cooking liquid, and stir, scraping bottom of pan to loosen any browned bits. Season with salt and pepper, then turn heat to medium-low. Continue to cook until mixture is no longer soupy but not dry.
• Stir in olive oil, then taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish if you like, and serve immediately, with rice or pita bread.

CRISPY BUFFALO CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Once the chickpeas have been thoroughly rinsed, spread them on a clean dish towel and pat them as dry as possible. Remove any skins that have loosened. If desired, remove the skins from all the chickpeas (this will result in a slightly crispier chickpea, but it is not necessary). Transfer the chickpeas to a medium bowl and toss with the baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the celery salt, garlic powder and onion powder and cook, stirring, until the spices are lightly toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup of the hot sauce and stir to combine. Pour over the chickpeas and fold gently to coat well.
• Scatter the chickpeas on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer. Roast until the chickpeas are a deep golden brown and very crispy, tossing them and rotating the sheet halfway through, 55 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the hot sauce. Shake the pan back and forth so that the chickpeas roll and are well coated in the sauce. Continue to bake until the sauce has dried out, about 5 minutes more.
• Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons hot sauce over the top and toss to coat. Let sit on the baking sheet until cooled completely, about 30 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.

STEAK WITH GARBANZO BEANS (CHICKPEAS)

Steps:

• Sprinkle the beef with the garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until the meat is coated.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan and sauté the meat over high heat for about 3 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, add the onion, paprika, chickpeas (with their liquid), and bay leaf. Stir to blend.
• In a small bowl, add the 1 tablespoon water to the 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
• Add the water-cornstarch mixture to the pan, and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes more.
• As it simmers, add the extra cornstarch-water mixture for the sauce, and garlic powder, if it still isn't garlicky enough for you.
• Serve as is or over rice.
