High Protein Spicy Turkish Chickpea Salad, Nohut Piyazi
Piyaz, usually a name for a salad with beans in Turkish cuisine, is adopted from the Persian word, (फ़ारसी) meaning onions. This version with the chickpeas is called “Nohut Piyazi”, meaning “Piyaz with Chickpeas”.
One of the best things about Nohut Piyazı is its versatility – you can use a variety of vegetables to suit your taste, and it's easy to adjust the recipe to make it spicier or milder. It's also perfect for a light lunch or dinner, or as a side dish to accompany grilled meats or fish.
Whether you're a vegan looking for new meal ideas or just want to try something new and delicious, you won't want to miss this easy and tasty Turkish dish. Give Nohut Piyazı a try and let me know what you think in the comments!

Spicy Crispy Chickpea Recipe
Here's a quick, spicy chickpea recipe that makes a great salad topping and a so-so snack; it's a lot easier on your teeth than baked chickpea snacks, which I find to be almost inedible (they tend to turn into tiny rocks).

Spicy Crispy Chickpeas
ingredients:
15 oz can CHICKPEAS
2-3 Tbsp OLIVE OIL
½ tsp CURRY POWDER
½ tsp CUMIN
½ tsp PAPRIKA
dash CAYENNE PEPPER
SALT to taste
Rinse and drain a 15oz can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans). In a skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. When the oil is hot, add chickpeas--be sure that they are drained well, since water and hot oil definitely do not mix. Saute chickpeas for 10-15 minutes; obviously, the longer they're in the skillet, the crispier they will get, but it'll take about 15 minutes to get them crispy. Once the chickpeas get near the doneness you desire, add salt, pepper, and spices. The spice combo in the recipe works well, but experiment with whatever spices you have--and don't be shy with the spices--spice really makes this recipe work, and a good deal of the spice you use will remain in the skillet when you remove the chickpeas. Saute chickpeas and spices another 2-3 minutes and then remove from the heat.
Use them as a salad topping instead of croutons for a healthy crunch, or a tasty snack, something to nibble on besides potato chips.
Enjoy!
