Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound chick peas (garbanzos), soaked overnight in water to cover
2 cloves garlic, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 yellow pepper
1 red pepper
2 tablespoons fennel seeds
2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 red onion
3/4 tablespoon curry powder
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
Chili oil (optional), passed separately

Steps:

  • Drain the soaked chick peas and add fresh water to cover. Add the garlic, salt and pepper and simmer the chick peas for an hour to an hour and a half or until they are tender. Drain and cool.
  • Meanwhile, char the peppers, skin side toward the heat, under a broiler or on a grill. Put them in a paper bag, seal them and allow them to cool a few minutes. Peel off their skins and cut them into strips.
  • Toast the fennel seeds in a small frying pan. Crush the seeds with a mortar and pestle.
  • Combine the chick peas, tomato, onion and crushed fennel seeds in a large mixing bowl. Add the curry powder and salt and pepper to taste. Add the vinegar and olive oil and mix well.
  • Garnish the chick peas with strips of red and yellow roasted peppers and the cilantro leaves. Serve the chili oil separately.
