"We love chickpeas so this recipe from Chef April Bloomfield of the Spotted Pig "gastro-pub" in Greenwich, Manhattan soon became one of our favorites."

Ingredients: fresh lemon juice, fresh rosemary leaves...

"Nice vegan stew made creamy by the peanut butter. I love to make this extra spicy to contrast the sweet of the peanut butter. For even more zing (and to add the health benefits) I like to add a few more minced cloves of garlic a minute or two before it's done. Changed a bit but originally from Kate's(Vegan)Cookery Site."

Ingredients: ground cumin, garlic, onions...

"This is a very thick chili. The bulgur almost takes on the colour, form/texture of ground meat. Excellent with fresh bread and a garden salad or as a meal itself. Freezes/reheats well. From Meal Lean i Yumm!"

Ingredients: couscous, cumin, dried basil...

"Whipped this up tonight since we have been a bit vegetable deficient lately. I LOVE hummus, as does my fiancé, so I thought this would be perfect. It turned out really well. This is based on my Lebanese friend's recipe for hummus--she is religious about hummus and tabbouleh, so I know I have the basic recipe down pat!! :-) Be sure to adjust..."

Ingredients: garbanzo beans, edamame...

"A very quick and easy Middle Eastern salad that can be made in minutes. Sometimes I add a little cumin to this or sprinkle some cayenne pepper on the top."

"I received this recipe from Carolina Rice. It's a nice and hearty soup. RICH! (African touch with the sweet potatoes and beans)!"

Ingredients: ground cumin, creamy peanut butter...

"From Eden Foods. I served this over cous cous, but it would also be great over some brown rice or quinoa. Add some red pepper flakes if you want more kick."

Ingredients: fresh ground black pepper, garbanzo beans...

"Inspired by the flavors of North Africa, this vegetarian stew replaces the tagine with the crock pot. The combination of saffron, ginger and cinnamon give of a wonderful aroma and flavor. It would tempting to substitute canned chickpeas here but you will get a different result. In this dish the chickpeas while tender have greater firmness than the..."

Ingredients: cinnamon, ground cumin...

"I adapted this recipe from one that appeared in BBC Good Food magazine and loved the rich, earthy flavours it produced. The original inspiration for this dish apparently comes from Tunisia and it certainly reminded me of some African stews I have had. The changes I made were to use butternut squash instead of pumpkin, fresh ginger instead of ground..."

Ingredients: cornstarch, chopped tomatoes...

Ingredients: ground cumin, dried garbanzo beans...

"This is a Recipezaar 2005 adoptee. It sounded like an easy vegetarian dinner that my whole family would like. The original stated that this recipe came from "The Vegetarian Gourmet's Easy Low-Fat Favorites"."

Ingredients: cinnamon, couscous, cumin...

"Nabbed this from a Whole Foods recipe. Very good especially with the chamoula (separate recipe). This is very chunky, if you want a thin soup add more veggie broth, if you want a thicker soup take some of the chickpeas and lentils and puree them in a blender, then add them back into the soup."

Ingredients: cilantro, ground turmeric...

"This was given to me by a dear friend. I think it comes from a Moosewood cookbook."

Ingredients: currants, feta cheese...

"This healthy Moroccan tagine is delicious, with chickpeas, sweet potatoes and apricots. Even though I cook for two I make the full amount because, as with many such dishes, the leftovers are scrummy the next day. Originated with WW, developed by me ;) Spices are dried and ground, as tis winter - add more/less of them as pleases you."

Ingredients: cinnamon, cooking spray...
