Fried Chick Peas Ingredients
1 1/2 cup dried chick peas
1 medium onion, diced
3 tbsp peanut oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp dried parsley
2 tsp dried mint
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp ground cumin seed
Fried Chick Peas Directions
1) Soak the chick peas overnight in lots of water. Then bring to a
boil, and simmer for 2 to 3 hours.
2) Mix the onions and spices together in a small bowl. Using a
non-stick pan, then fry in the oil until the onions are brown (5 to
10 minutes).
3) Thoroughly mix the fried onion, cooked chick peas, lemon juice,
parsley, and mint in a medium size bowl.
4) On medium-high heat, fry everything until the chick peas start to
soften (about 10 minutes). Cover, and set the heat on very low for 15
to 20 minutes.
5) Serve hot or cold. Great for picnics!
** Variations **
Add one more diced onion. Use olive, sesame, or safflower oil instead
of peanut.

Food Quotes:
The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and the vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me and I to them.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Edible, adj.: Good to eat, and wholesome to digest, as a worm to a toad, a toad to a snake, a snake to a pig, a pig to a man, and a man to a worm.
Ambrose Bierce
