Hearty, protein-packed and endlessly versatile, chickpeas are one of the hardest-working ingredients in my pantry. Blend them into a light, airy Creamy Tahini Hummus with Lemon and Garlic inspired by Zahav’s famous Hummus Tehina, or roast them until golden for Crispy Roasted Chickpeas, a sweet, spicy and crunchy snack. They’re just as good in hearty dinners, like a vegetarian Pozole Verde with hominy and potatoes, or a Grill Roast Chicken served over chickpeas with fresh herbs.
