1 Can of Chickpeas - 3 Ideas

It can be difficult to come up with ideas if you're having one of those uninspired cooking days. You know the ones, you look through the cupboards and fridge three or four times and still come up empty handed despite having things to eat. There's no worse feeling than being hungry and uninspired. But wait, do you have a can of chickpeas handy? 

If you have a can of chickpeas handy, then you have at least three delicious dishes that you can whip up!

• ROAST THEM - Toss them in oil and your favourite spice blend and roast them up until they're nice and golden brown. They can be quite an addictive snack!

• MAKE SANDWICHES - Have you tried chickpea tuna sandwiches? I'm still so addicted to this recipe two years after I wrote it! Mashing up the chickpeas with some mayo, black salt, and veggies like onion and celery really give you that tuna salad vibe without any fish having been harmed.

• CAPRESE SALAD ANYONE? - Chickpeas make a great addition to many different salads like my recipe for Chickpea Caprese Salad. Tender bocconcini, fresh grape tomatoes, and fresh basil, tossed in a balsamic vinaigrette. Delicious and quick!
