This is a classic accompaniment of cooked chickpeas that are finished by frying in olive oil with onions, garlic and spices.

Ingredients:

300g (2/3 lb) dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
6 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground coriander seeds
1/2 tsp ground cumin seeds
1/2 tsp ground fennel seeds
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
salt, to taste

Method:

Soak the dried beans over night in a large bowl with plenty of water. The following day, drain the bans, transfer to a large pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 60 minutes, until tender. Drain the beans in a colander and set aside for 10 minutes to dry.

Heat the olive oil in a wok or deep frying pan. When the oil is hot add the onion and fry for about 5 minutes, or until starting to brown. Now scatter over the spices and stir fry for 1 minute, until aromatic. Add the beans and stir well to coat in the spiced oil.

Season to taste with salt and continue frying for 5 minutes until the beans are lightly coloured.

Turn into a bowl and serve.
