"Sunset 2009"
- Ready In:
- 15mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzos)
- vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt or 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon dried chipotle powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne
directions
- Drain and rinse chickpeas. Spread in a single layer on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and pat dry.
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, bring 2 inches oil to 350° to 375° (use a candy thermometer, or drop a chickpea in—when it sizzles, the oil is ready).
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Set aside.
- With a large spoon or strainer, lower chickpeas carefully into oil. (They will spatter.) Cook until chickpeas are hot and crispy (test 1 for doneness), about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon or strainer, transfer chickpeas to several layers of paper towels and drain 1 minute.
- Toss chickpeas with spice mixture. Serve immediately.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
