CHICKPEA "CEVICHE" RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Combine yogurt, tamarind, mint, cardamom, cinnamon, clove and coriander in a large mixing bowl. Stir until blended. Add chickpeas, tomato, cucumber and onion. Mix well. Garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.

CLASSIC CEVICHE

Steps:

• In a 1 1/2-quart glass or stainless steel bowl, combine the fish, lime juice and onion. Use enough juice to cover the fish and allow it to float freely; too little juice means unevenly "cooked" fish. Cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours, until a cube of fish no longer looks raw when broken open. Drain in a colander.
• In a large bowl, mix together the tomatoes, green chiles, cilantro, olives and optional olive oil. Stir in the fish and season with salt, usually about 1/2 teaspoon. Add the orange juice or sugar. Cover and refrigerate if not serving immediately. Just before serving, gently stir in the diced avocado.
• MAKE AHEAD Working ahead: The fish may be marinated a day in advance; after about 4 hours, when the fish is "cooked," drain it so that it will not become too tangy. For the freshest flavor, add the flavorings to the fish no more than a couple of hours before serving.

BEST EVER CEVICHE!!!

Steps:

• combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix together well.
• Best to let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to allow the flavors to fully blend together but can be served as soon as it's made if desired.
• serve cold either on tostada shells, as a dip with chips, or in a dish to eat alone.
• May be garnished with lettuce, avacado, and black olive if desired.

CHICKPEAS AND RICE

Steps:

• Cook water, rice, thyme, and bay leaf and set aside.
• Heat olive oil and half of the butter in a skillet and then add chickpeas.

• Add oregano, basil, salt, and pepper and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and mix rice and chickpeas together until rice is a golden color.
• Mix in remaining butter (cubed) and Parmesan cheese.
