Crispy Chickpeas served over CoCoFir

Updated: Mar 29, 2021

There are days when life calls you outside into nature. Today was such a day. Beautiful clear blue skies and a crisp winter air beckoned me to sit on my porch and write after a nice little run in my new neighborhood. Yes, I moved to a house amidst the rain, the cold and my commitment to my beloved market filled with devout and loving customers. This will be my final move ever. I’m exhausted.


I’m making a meal for my daughter and son-in-law today as a way of expressing my gratitude for letting me crash in their spare room while my floors and bathroom are being redone in my new home. I decided to throw together a couple of stir fries, and one added dish that would add some flavor, while keeping it a simple addition. It’s my go to dish that can go with pretty much any themed dinner.


Chick peas served over muun chi CoCoFir


3 T. Coconut oil

2 cups cooked chickpeas dried using a kitchen towel


Heat the oil in a hot cast iron pan. Add the chickpeas, stirring occasionally until nice and crispy - 15 or more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.


Increase the heat to medium high and add


8 T CoCoFir

1 tsp crushed fennel seeds

1 tsp red-pepper flakes


Remove from heat and stir in


2 T fresh lemon juice

season with sat and pepper


Serve over muun chi CoCoFir.

Tonight we will be eating this with a broccoli stir fry, and garlic string beans. My daughter was craving my mom’s scallion pancakes, so we’ll be making a gluten free version. I imagine the pancakes will be perfect with the crispy chickpea CoCoFir dish! Cheers!

You know how much I love beets, don't you? The funny thing is that my love for them has very little to do with how they taste. My love for them comes from knowing how much they have changed my life.
