    I've never had chickpeas this way. I loved the spices and the new flavors. I did hold back on the onions and used olive oil b/c I had no vegetable oil. Really nice, will try again.

    I agree with the others, it's idiot proof, quick and a great vegetarian meal. I do agree that there might be a need to up the spice a little but this is good for those who like it mild Thanks for sharing!

    I like the mix of spices in this! The cumin, chili, and lemon are fantastic together. Nice and easy to put together, too. I only used one can of chickpeas but used the full amount of remaining ingredients to get a dish that was really flavorful... I absolutley loved it!

    Had these for dinner tonight, so quick to cook, and so good. Served with steamed jasmine rice. A couple of my favourite foods together, chick peas and rice, thought I'd died and gone to heaven.
