Chickpea Curry Spread Dip Food

CURRIED CHICKPEA SPREAD

Steps:

• In a food processor, place the chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, curry powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt, and process until smooth.
• Add the cilantro and pulse a few times to combine.
• Transfer the curried chickpea spread to a bowl.
• Serve as a dip or spread for vegetables, crackers, pita crisps, or bread, or as a sandwich filling.

CURRIED CAULIFLOWER AND CHICKPEA DUMP DINNER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Whisk the vegetable broth, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, serrano, curry powder and 2 teaspoons salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Add the chickpeas and spinach and stir to coat.
• Spread the rice evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. Pour in the coconut-milk mixture, distributing the chickpeas and spinach evenly over the rice. Scatter the cauliflower and onion over the top, making sure to go all the way to the edge of the pan (it's okay if the cauliflower is not completely submerged in liquid).
• Cover tightly with foil and bake until the vegetables have softened but are still vibrant, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cauliflower is charred in spots and the rice is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the rice to absorb more of the moisture. Serve topped with cilantro, a drizzle of yogurt and lime wedges for squeezing.

CHICKPEA CURRY SPREAD / DIP

Steps:

• Rinse the chickpeas and put them along with all the other ingredients in a food processor (fitted with the steel S-blade). Run until desired texture and smoothness. If it's too thick for your taste, add more olive oil and blend until it looks good to you. This is fairly curry-intense, so you may want to start with a little bit less curry and see what you think.
• If you like fresh cilantro, you can use that instead of dried, but if you do, I wouldn't add it until the end and just pulse a few times to distribute it. I am not a big fan of cilantro, except when it's dried, so I use that.
• The spread keeps for about a week in the fridge.

CHICKPEA & RED PEPPER DIP

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas in a food processor with the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, red peppers and coriander. Blitz to a paste. Season to taste. Serve in a bowl with toasted pitta breads.

CURRIED CHICKPEA-YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high. Add onion and saute until translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and curry powder and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add 1/4 cup water, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon.
• Transfer mixture to a food processor; add chickpeas, yogurt, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper and puree. Serve with a dollop of yogurt and sliced cucumbers.

CURRIED CHICKPEA SALAD PITAS

Steps:

• Add the mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon juice, curry powder, honey, salt and pepper to a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. Add the chickpeas and pulse until the chickpeas are slightly smashed, 5 or 6 more times.
• Empty the mixture into a serving bowl. Fold in the raisins and cilantro until everything is fully coated. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve in a pita with cabbage mix and Ryan's Pickled Onions.
• Add the onions, apple cider vinegar, white vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, salt and 1 cup water to a glass pint jar. Stir or shake well to mix. Let marinate overnight in the refrigerator, then keep for up to a month in the fridge.
