3️⃣ Beet Hummus with Marinated Chickpeas & Fried Garlic
* Beet hummus recipe is here: https://rainbowplantlife.com/beet-hummus/
* See below for the rest of the recipe ⬇️
MARINATED CHICKPEAS, SALAD, AND FRIED GARLIC
Note: I recommend reducing the the garlic in the Beet Hummus to 1 or 2 cloves (or omit entirely), as there’s a lot of garlic flavor in the marinated chickpeas / fried garlic.
* 1 ½ teaspoons coriander seeds
* 4 fat garlic cloves
* 2 ½ tablespoons (35g) extra virgin olive oil
* 1 ½ teaspoons Aleppo pepper (or 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes)
* Flaky sea salt
* 1 (15 ounce / 425g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
* Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
* 1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
* 2 to 4 handfuls of arugula or seasonal salad greens of choice
* 1 big handful fresh dill leaves and tender stems, chopped (or parsley or basil)
1️⃣ Lightly crush the coriander seeds in a mortar with a pestle, or add to a spice grinder and pulse once or twice. If you don’t have either of these tools, add them to a Ziploc bag, seal, and smash down with a heavy tool such as a rolling pin or mallet.
2️⃣ Thinly slice the garlic cloves, as uniformly as you can. If you have a mandoline, this works best but be sure to wear a safety glove.
3️⃣ Set a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl.
4️⃣ Make the spiced garlic oil: Add the olive oil and sliced garlic to a *cold* small or medium-sized frying pan. Turn the heat to medium and use a spatula to separate the slices. Once it starts to sizzle, shake the pan and toss often. Cook until the garlic is just turning golden around the edges, 3 to 4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to med-low and add the crushed coriander and chili flakes, and stir constantly for 30 to 45 seconds, or until garlic is lightly browned but not dark. If the garlic starts to burn at any point, remove the pan from the heat briefly and lower the heat.
Pour the spiced oil into the sieve, reserving the oil in the bowl. Sprinkle garlic with a pinch of flaky salt (for maximal crispiness, spread out the garlic mixture on a layer of paper towels).
5️⃣ Marinate the chickpeas: Add the drained chickpeas to the spiced oil in the bowl. Season with ½ teaspoon kosher salt, a generous amount of pepper, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Toss to combine, then taste, adding more salt or lemon juice as desired.
6️⃣ Assemble: Schmear the Beet Hummus into a shallow bowl or in a serving plate. Top with arugula and sprinkle on most of the dill. Drizzle the greens lightly with olive oil and lemon juice or vinegar (or any marinade sitting in the bottom of the bowl of chickpeas). Top with the marinated chickpeas and fried garlic. Garnish with remaining dill.

Ah that's why my homemade hummus is never that smooth! I'll had the boiling step next time ❤
Do you have any suggestions on how to replace the vegan yoghurt in the first recipe? I really dislike the taste of it and if it's soy based it gives me indigestion.
Please make another pantry staple video 💚
I love the chickpea lemon soup of yours. It's the first video I watched from your channel, and I found it last summer and I had it several times throughout the year. I'd love a video about "demystifying miso" video of yours too! I have a pack of it in my fridge that's begging to be used more often
Would you believe, my local shop, has dried red kidney, black beans, white beans. But no damn dried chickpeas, which is what I wanted for falafels. It seems so silly, the ONE you can't substitute for a tin
version! I mean, they have dried green lentils and so I can just use that, but still.
Wait what is that? Sweetheart! I have this irrational hate for plastic plants and there is an imposter monstera amongst your plants!!! lol Right next to what looks to be a lovely aglaonema. Oh no, it get's worse!!! It's surrounded by imposters!!!!! lol
Anyway, always looking for quick sandwich fillers and this one I will absolutely try. Thanks very much. Please use money from the sponsor to get your Aglaonema some mental health support. lol
Edit: I will try and boil the tin chickpeas more and add baking soda because my food processor isn't the best. Good enough for falafel but I don't like a chunky hummus and I have struggled in the past with getting the consistency I like. Roasted beets are always a favourite. I like it. I was thinking of making it into a small starter. If I am cooking for people I am cooking for 2 people in their 70s. They can't put away food like they used to. I thought maybe arrange it in a little boat little gem leaf or can you make a basket out of weaving arugula, I wonder? lol I'd only have to make 3.
I was literally just saying I need to find a good chickpea salad recipe! I can’t thank you enough for providing these printable versions. I’m going to make all 3 of these. However, I can see combining the fried chickpeas with the beet hummus! So many options to mix and match those! I’m not vegan, but eat very plant based and your recipes are amazing! I have been working my way through the flavor bombs this month. So good! Thank you!
Just made the first recipe, was simple to make but wow it tastes amazing and the options with the yogurt and topping are endless, ty so much.
Would there be any alternatives for dill relish in the chickpea sandwich? Dill relish is not available here in the UK from what I see.
TY RPL . Going to try this .
I'll be making the beet hummus recipe – I can almost taste it now! So many flavors, I can't wait! Thank you so much!
Gotta say, it really is fun cheering on channels that are spectacularly produced, extremely entertaining, & provide super helpful information that is easy to use and improve one's life. Big thank you!
This food is medicine. This food is life. Thank You ❤
That’s a great sandwich. I have a suggestion. Hollow out the bottom slice to act as a container for the mix. But then we miss out on the comic relief that I ❤ about your channel.
First time commenter, but I have been watching and using your recipes for a while.
Yogurt with olive oil is a good mayo substitute. Avocado goes well with the chickpeas for sandwiches, too.
Yum, yum, yum, yum. Also, thanks for the tip about boiling the canned chickpeas for hummus!
Ty
I’ve been loving chickpea sandwiches and chickpea wraps recently. Your recipe sounds so delicious—the addition of capers sounds great!
❤
The chickpea salad would be great (and handle a lot of salad fixings) if it was stuffed into a pita.
Your recipes are truly delicious but I need to know how you or anyone for that matter eats so many beans without them causing an extreme amount of gas? I know it sounds like a silly question but I’m asking In all seriousness. I absolutely love beans but have to limit my intake because even 1/4 cup makes me SO bloated and gassy. I feel like that chickpea sandwich would absolutely destroy my stomach…yet it sounds and looks delicious!!! Any tips appreciated!
Would it be possible to include what to do if substituting homecooked dried beans? They are 1/4th the price of canned beans and taste better, but I know the texture are different. Thanks ❤❤
Perfect timing! Cause I just got 24 cans of chickpeas 😂😂😂
Thank you.
Dit lijkt me heerlijk ik ga dit zeker maken
Dankje wel 🙂👍
Your parent approved Tadka Dhal recipe regularly makes our guests ask if we have an Indian Chef ,we don't,
we have Rainbow plant life❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for all your work
If you don't have vegan mayo, it's easy to make your own using the reserved aquafaba from your can of chickpeas!
I'm Not vegan or vegetarian, but love veggies/total foodie.. I absolutely love ur channel ✌🏼💙& hv made lots of ur recipes❤
Just made the chickpea salad. Easy…so delicious. A keeper. Thanks Nisha!
My mouth is sooooo watering!
