How to Make Red Sea Chick Peas

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until golden brown, about 2 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to low. Add 1 (15-ounce) can of chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Stir to combine and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and the flavors have melded. The chickpeas should be slightly tender but still hold their shape.
  4. Remove from heat and garnish with extra cilantro, if desired. Serve warm or cold.
