  1. Just a note first, Kurdish and Persian are different ethnicities... This is good with the canned chickpeas I used, sea salt, to taste, freshly ground black pepper, to taste, less cayenne pepper per preference here, freshly squeezed lemon juice and a little powdered white loomi as I had no limes on hand, plus the rest of the ingredients. Made for Visiting Iran(Persia) in June 2012!
     
  2. Really good, easy and tasty. We had this with some roasted chicken as a side dish and it was enjoyed by all. I subbed parsley for the coriander and used a wee bit less oil.
     
  3. This one will be a regular in my kitchen. I substituted chick peas for three varieties of dried beans. Very quick and easy to prepare.
