I love them. For many years I had to eat them at my mom´s house as my hubby hated them. After he died, I startedto make some food he couldn´t eat for his illness and other he did not like. Garbanzo was one of them. I make it with pork legs. It gives it a wonderful taste. Many times I also put some rice.
How do you make them? What do you do with them? I´d love to try new recipes.
Happy posting to all!!!

I like them on tossed salads. They add a nice flavor. I also use them to make hummus, which is a big hit with the family. A pita sandwich with roasted peppers and onions, and a few bean sprouts is a wonderful light meal. Eating that way is good, because it saves room for dessert. LOL.

I have learned a lot with this post
. I only used garbanzos for hot main dishes. It seems that you can make wonders using them cold, as a salad.
How do you make hummus, friend? I love it but have never made it myself.
Happy posting!

Once you try it, you'll always want some on hand! My recipe is from Recipezaar, http://www.recipezaar.com/Hummus-8649
It's very simple, but so flavorful! It's also an easy and adaptable recipe. I've added other ingredients just to be creative, such as onion, sun-dried tomato and/or roasted red peppers. Once you make it, serve it with assorted veggies, flatbread and bagel chips. My son likes it with pretzels...lol. You can easily make a cool meal for a warm evening. Bet your grandson would love a 'fondue' dinner.
. Do you have it?

When I make grilled chicken salad, I put them in the salad. I think they taste really good with the grilled chicken. Sometimes I put them in pork stew, too.

I have never used them in a salad. I´ll try it. I make baked chicken often (it´s unexpensive and has many lives) and I could put them in a chicken salad. YUMMY!!!
Thanks for sharing!

I too love garbanzo beans. My mom use to make them in spanish rice. I love them any which way. I sometimes just add them to my salads or I make them with chopped onion, garlic and olive oil, chill in fridge then enjoy. Also, they are great because they are healthy for you.

seems its a nice dish, but I can not eat pork at home, my landlord is a pure vegetarian and does not allow us to cook any non veg item, though I secretly boil eggs and sometimes make omalette too, but guess pork will create a lot of smell and he will sense this.

yes i love garbanzo beans, one can eat them as salad or make a proper dish. They are also called chick peas and i love to cook them with sauce and then eat them with fried or baked all-purpose flour pancake made from dough that is formed by flour,yeast,curd,salt and oil. Yummy!

I never thought of eating them with a pancake. What type of sauce do you use?

Hi Marguicha
Garbanzo beans are one of my favorite things to put in my salad I like to put in some garbanzo beans,kidney beans,string beans, to make a 3 bean salad with a little oil and vinager dressing its great. Those type of beans go good with just about any type of salad or soup, you can also puree the beans and make a nice dip
