Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Canned chickpeas
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess salt and the canned taste.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic. Whisk together until the marinade is well combined.
Add the freshly chopped parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to the marinade and mix again.
Place the rinsed chickpeas into the bowl with the marinade. Toss the chickpeas gently until they are evenly coated with the marinade.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the chickpeas marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to absorb into the chickpeas.
After marinating, give the chickpeas a good stir to redistribute the marinade before serving.
These marinated chickpeas can be served cold or at room temperature. They are perfect as a standalone snack, added to salads, or used as a topping for grain bowls.
