How to cook deliciously - Curried Chickpea Salad

1. Stage

Thoroughly drain the can of chickpeas. Spread chickpeas onto a baking sheet and dry with paper towels.

2. Stage

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil until it shimmers. Add white onion and jalapeño and cook until the onion has fully softened and begun to turn golden, 7 to 8 minutes.

3. Stage

Add garlic and cumin seeds and cook, stirring often, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until very fragrant and the cumin seeds begin to pop. Sprinkle over curry powder, coriander, turmeric, salt and pepper. Toss and toast for 2 minutes, or until the onion has taken on a darker color.

4. Stage

Add chickpeas and cook, tossing occasionally, so that the chickpeas are coated in the spice mixture, and have started to crisp in places.

5. Stage

Transfer chickpea mixture to a large bowl and cool for 10 minutes. Once cooled, use a potato masher to mash the chickpeas until you have a homogeneous, almost dough-like, consistency, with some whole chickpeas still intact.

6. Stage

Fold in mayo, lime juice, bell pepper, red onion, and cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Top toasted bread with chickpea salad, butter lettuce, and sliced tomato and serve.
