Ingredients

• 2 cups Canned chickpeas
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess salt and the canned taste.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and minced garlic. Whisk together until the marinade is well combined.

Step 3

Add the freshly chopped parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to the marinade and mix again.

Step 4

Place the rinsed chickpeas into the bowl with the marinade. Toss the chickpeas gently until they are evenly coated with the marinade.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let the chickpeas marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to absorb into the chickpeas.

Step 6

After marinating, give the chickpeas a good stir to redistribute the marinade before serving.

Step 7

These marinated chickpeas can be served cold or at room temperature. They are perfect as a standalone snack, added to salads, or used as a topping for grain bowls.
