Curried Vermicelli With Chickpeas Recipes

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat.
• Add onion and cook until onion becomes translucent and begins to brown, about 3-5 minutes.
• Add garlic, ginger, and jalapeño. Continue to cook over medium heat until garlic is fragrant and jalapeño is tender, about 3-4 minutes.
• Add garam masala, turmeric, salt, and pepper then continue to cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, chickpeas, and water. Stir to incorporate, making sure to use the spoon the scrape off any brown bits that have appeared on the bottom or sides of the pot.
• As the tomatoes break down, the mixture should take on the texture of a thick stew. Add more water if needed before bringing everything to a simmer and then cover with a lid.
• Once covered, cook for 15 minutes while stirring occasionally.
• Remove lid, reduce heat to low and mix in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro. Cook over low heat 1-2 minutes until the cilantro has wilted and turned bright green.
• Serve over basmati rice or with a side of naan.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan. Fry the cumin, chillies, clove, cinnamon and bay leaf together until the cumin starts to crackle. Tip in the onion, turmeric and a pinch of salt. Cook for 2 mins until starting to soften, then add the garlic.
• Continue cooking 4-5 mins until the onion is soft, then add chickpeas, paprika, black pepper and ground coriander. Give everything a good stir so the chickpeas are well coated in the spices.
• Add the tomatoes and 2 tbsp water. Cook on a medium heat until tomatoes are soft and the sauce is thick and pulpy. Take off the heat and sprinkle on the coriander.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, peanut oil, toasted sesame oil, curry powder, onion powder, chili paste, sugar and garlic powder. Set aside to let the flavours blend.
• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta following package directions until al dente.
• While the pasta is cooking, drain the chickpeas in a large colander and rinse with cold running water.
• Carefully pour the cooked pasta over the chickpeas and drain. Return the hot mixture to the pot.
• Add the soy mixture and pimiento (if using), toss thoroughly to combine.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
