Okay, I like chick peas, I really like chick peas in hummus, but I've been disappointed with my efforts to marinate chick peas in a salad. So this morning I thought "the marinade I made for the shrimp on Saturday would be GREAT with chick peas..." I didn't quite follow it, but OMG, it was so good.
About 15-16oz chick peas
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 T fresh chives
1 tsp dried French tarragaon
1/2 tsp fresh oragano
1/2 tsp fresh orange zest
1-2 tsp fresh (Navel) orange juice
2-3 T lime olive oil
1-2 T white balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
1-2 oz Feta cheese
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 Marsala spice
I mixed everything together and then used my hand-blender to "puree" about 1/3 cup of the chick peas. OMG, was this good. I was going to let everything "meld" in the fridge with the addition of tomatoes, cukes, and red onion. I didn't get there. I ate it all for breakfast. OMG was it good.(The measurements are guesses--I was just using up chick peas that were in the freezer--didn't realize I'd have a culinary experience!).
