Ingredients

1 1/2 cups chick peas dried
1 medium onion diced
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons parsley leaves dried
2 teaspoons mint dried
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon ground
1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds

Directions

1) Soak the chick peas overnight in lots of water. Then bring to a boil,and simmer for 2 to 3 hours.

2) Mix the onions and spices together in a small bowl.

Using a non-stick pan, fry onions in the oil until brown (about 5-10 minutes).

3) Thoroughly mix the fried onion, cooked chick peas, lemon juice, parsley, and mint in a medium size bowl.

4) On medium-high heat, fry everything until the chick peas start to soften (about 10 minutes).

Cover, and set the heat on very low for 15 to 20 minutes.

5) Serve hot or cold. Great for picnics!

** Variations **

Add one more diced onion. Use olive, sesame, or safflower oil instead of peanut.
