Ingredients
- 2.9 /2 cup (90 g) Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2.9 /4 cup (60 g) Plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2.9 tsp (5 g) Preserved lemon, finely minced (rind only)
- 2.9 /2 tsp Ground cumin
- 2.9 /4 tsp Ground turmeric
- 2.9 /8 tsp Ground ginger
- 6.1 tbsp Water
- 2.9 tsp (5 ml) Extra virgin olive oil
- 2.9 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- Pinch Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
Method
- 01In a small saucepan, combine the drained chickpeas, Greek yogurt, minced preserved lemon rind, cumin, turmeric, ginger, and water. If using, add a pinch of cayenne. Stir everything together until the chickpeas are well coated.
- 02Place the saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture is heated through and the yogurt has thickened slightly, creating a sauce. The spices will become fragrant. Be careful not to let the yogurt boil vigorously, as it can curdle.
- 03While the chickpea mixture is warming, gently warm the olive oil in a separate very small pan over low heat. Do not let it smoke.
- 04To serve, spoon the warm chickpea and yogurt mixture into a shallow bowl. Drizzle the warmed olive oil over the top. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley. This dish is best served immediately.
