This is such a fun and lively side dish! I made this up one day with ingredients that I had on hand. I have made it as an Asian side dish, an Indian side dish, and even as a Mexican side dish. It really works any way! If you don't have sesame or chili oil, any oil will do, just cut it down to only 2 tablespoons. I just really LOOOOOVE sesame oil! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons chili oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Directions:
1. Saute onion and garlic in the sesame and chili oils over medium heat in a small skillet until onions are soft.
2. Add chickpeas and stir mixture until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
3. Reduce heat to low and add lime juice.
4. Cook, stirring frequently for 1 minute.
5. Season with salt, pepper and cilantro.
