Instructions

Step 1: You could use canned chickpeas, but I prefer dried beans that Ive soaked myself.Soak chickpeas overnight. Be sure to add plenty of water to the bowl as the beans soak up more than you would expect.

Ingredients:

• canned chickpeas
• dried beans
• chickpeas
• beans
• water

Equipment:

• bowl

Step 2: Drain and rinse chickpeas

Ingredients:

• chickpeas

Step 3: Place beans in a pot and add enough water to cover plus about 3 inches or so.Simmer over medium to medium low heat for a couple of hours. Theyll cook in less time, but I like to cook my beans long and slow.While the beans are cooking, place sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil) in a bowl and add boiling hot water.

Ingredients:

• sun dried tomatoes
• beans
• water
• cooking oil

Equipment:

• bowl
• pot

Step 4: Let soak for about 10 minutes

Step 5: Drain and slice or chop tomatoes to your liking

Ingredients:

• tomato

Step 6: Drain the cooked beans

Ingredients:

• beans

Step 7: Heat a few tablespoons or so of butter over medium heat in your largest skillet

Ingredients:

• butter

Equipment:

• frying pan

Step 8: Place beans in hot skillet in a single layer (you can do this in batches)Stir to coat and let cook for about 4 minutes

Ingredients:

• beans

Equipment:

• frying pan

Step 9: Give it a good stir, or use a spatula to flip the beans, and let cook for another 4 minutes. At this point I add another chunk or so of butter. Not necessary, but darn tasty.Towards the end of the 4 minutes, add garlic, salt, pepper and tomatoes and give it another quick saut.

Ingredients:

• tomato
• butter
• garlic
• pepper
• beans
• salt

Equipment:

• spatula

Step 10: Place in platter or bowl and finish with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro and fresh goat cheese. I used Capricho de Cabra for this batch. Capricho is one of my favorite Spanish goat cheeses. Clean, crisp and tangy, this cheese tastes like its been washed in fresh spring water. Yum.

Ingredients:

• fresh cilantro
• water
• goat cheese
• cheese

Equipment:

• bowl

Step 11: Serve chickpeas with whatever sounds good to you. Im thinking lightly fried sardines and a Vinho Verde.

Ingredients:

• chickpeas
• sardines
