How to Make Chipotle Chickpeas
- Preheat broiler.
- Roast 2 bell peppers on a baking sheet under the broiler, turning often, until blistered and blackened (about 10 minutes).
- Place peppers in a paper bag, seal, and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Remove peppers from bag and discard skin, ribs, and seeds.
- Puree roasted peppers in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
- Soak 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in boiling water until softened (about 10 minutes).
- Drain sun-dried tomatoes, reserving 2 tablespoons of soaking liquid.
- Puree sun-dried tomatoes with the reserved liquid in a food processor or blender. Set aside.
- Puree 1/2 cup chickpeas with 1/4 cup water in a food processor or blender. Set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon asafetida (optional) and 1 medium onion, chopped, and saute until onion is softened and lightly browned (about 5 minutes).

- Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomato puree, chickpea puree, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
