Even though we had macaroni for breakfast, I was still hungry a few hours later. I dunno why. Bhavnesh suggested the reason for my hunger was the fact that we ate carbs for breakfast so maybe we should eat some protein. Luckily, I had cooked extra chickpeas from yesterday's Grilled Falafel Burgers. I whipped up this Spiced Chickpea Salad real fast and topped it with a dollop of the leftover Lebneh sauce. It was much more filling and very delicious.
1 cup cooked chickpeas
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp red chili powder
1. Heat up the olive oil in skillet. Keep in mind that olive oil does not take as long to heat up so give it a few seconds and then throw the chickpeas to pan.
2. Then add the salt, red chili powder and black pepper and mix well for a few minutes.
3. Serve hot garnished with chopped cilantro and a dollop of LEbneh sauce. [You could also garnish with chopped cucumber, tomato and/or onions.]
Note: IF you do not have any Lebneh sauce, that's perfectly alright. Substitute the sauce by whisking yogurt together with garlic, salt and lemon juice. Mix well.
