We buy a kilo of dried garbanzos and make enough hummus to float a boat; it goes quickly into our gullets, the garlickier the better.
The gresh ones remind me of wasabi flavored green peas.

First time I’ve seen a picture of fresh chickpeas- thanks MM! And thanks BettyQ for the garlic chickpea idea. I usually toss chickpeas in OO, garam masala and curry powder before roasting and add cilantro before serving. Yum! :)

Alilay and Ebba….huwag na ninyo pahirapan ang sarili niyo sa paghahanap ng fresh na garbanzos sa init ng panahon ngayon! Canned ones will do. If you have to buy fresh, you need to cook them or boil them till tender anyway before roasting them! Canned ones…open the can…..

On the net, there are variations but I prefer our garlic taste much like our garlic peanuts and the Chinese spiced peanuts using the 5 spiced salt available also at Chinese grocery stores….or you can make your own! Are there crispy garbanzo beans sold back home?

Ms. Bettyq, thanks ulit sa forever mong “walang katapusan” na ideas. Ayy naku lang, dito sa Houston, hindi pa ako nakaka-kita ng fresh ones. Baka sa Whole Foods, or katulad ng sabi ni alilay – try ko sa open Mexican Market dito. Yey, hind na ako bibili ng super alat na Boy Bawang.

MM, sorry for my typho – I did not check my entry before my submittal.
