Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, add the coconut milk, ginger, 1 tablespoon salt and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the orzo and stir. Cook, stirring to prevent sticking, until the pasta is al dente, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain well. Remove and discard the ginger.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and heat for 1 minute more. Add the drained orzo and spread out evenly in the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom of the pasta is starting to get browned and crispy, about 4 minutes. Flip the pasta, add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and continue to cook, undisturbed, until the other side is browned, about 4 minutes more. Flip again and brown another 3 minutes. Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir in the peas and scallions. Cook another 2 minutes to warm through. Finish with the lemon juice. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
- Put the chickpeas on a clean kitchen towel or several sheets of paper towel and dry thoroughly. In a medium bowl, toss the beans with the olive oil to coat. Sprinkle the smoked salt and toss again. Arrange the chickpeas in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake, shaking the pan halfway through the baking time, until the chickpeas are crunchy, 50 minute to 1 hour. Let cool for at least 1 hour; the beans will become crunchier as they cool.
- These are best eaten within 1 day.
