Guessing Game Answer Revealed

by Stef on May 5th, 2006

Two weeks ago, we played a little guessing game.

Here they are in all their roasted and nutty glory. My kids love this as a snack. Because it’s good for them, I let them have all they want. The only thing is even after handfuls of this stuff, they’re still asking for more. Know what it is?

Fresh chickpeas! (a.k.a. garbanzo beans, or the Italian ceci (che-chi) You can find these easily at Indian grocers and some Asian stores. Better yet, try to grow your own!

To roast fresh chickpeas, preheat your oven to 350°F. Put the chickpeas on a baking sheet in one layer and roast 20 minutes or so, until dark brown. The skins are really easy to break so you can get at the sweet green nugget within. I’m off to roast a batch now for my hungry kiddies!
