Indian-Spiced Chickpeas with Rhubarb and Spinach

IMG_2688

Think rhubarb is only good in cobblers, pies, and crisps?  Think again!  My new post over at the Marcus Samuelsson blog for Indian-spiced chickpeas with rhubarb and spinach shows you why!

  7. I made a savory dish with rhubarb last year... it was a couscous dish with rhubarb and asparagus. I thought it was great but my roommate was skeptical about the rhubarb in it so she ate around it! Going to check our your recipe!

  10. Rhubarb? Not in a pie or crisp? That would be just the unexpected touch to zip up a recipe like this. There's no way that David will allow me to use the first rhubarb of the season that is sitting my fridge right now for this recipe; but the next batch....haha...is destined for something savory. It looks delicious, Joanne! I'm in!

  21. That looks good. I would make it if they had rhubarb up here. I am finding that I cannot get my hands on a lot of fresh produce up here in the high desert.

  26. Looks so good, I love chick peas, don't know much about rhubarb but I know it's tart but roasted I bet gives it such a nice flavor!

  31. Great job Joanne. I think this sounds fabulous. I love chickpeas and haven't had them in awhile and mixed with rhubarb sounds like a fun twist.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I think it's fully acceptable to occasionally do things that are not age appropriate, as long as you realize it and are not in denial. It keeps you young :)

    One of these days I'll buy some rhubarb!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I love the combination of flavors here! I was just looking at a rhubarb plant at the nursery the other day and thinking if I should find room for it. Now I wish I would have bought it!

  46. I love chickpeas and rhubarb... my culinary horizons for the latter have been pretty boring: tarts, pies, cakes, failed attempts to make chutney... But this is an awesome way to cook it!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Awesome savory rhubarb recipe, sounds terrific in combination with chickpeas.

    ReplyDelete
  48. What an interesting combination...I will stop over :)

    ReplyDelete
  49. I'm definitely intrigued- I've never had rhubarb in anything other than pie or jam. Those chickpeas look really delicious! :)

    ReplyDelete
  50. This is brilliant! I have to try rhubarb in this savory combo.

  51. I get ridiculously giddy over pink too. I kind of look like pepto bismol walking into my office everyday - pink vera laptop bag, different but coordinating pink very lunch bag, and hot pink travel coffee mug, naturally. I look extra awesome when it rains and I wear my ballerina pink trench coat! Anyway, I also get giddy over chickpeas and raisins. This, my friend, has been bookmarked.

  52. did anyone actually try to make this? the original was lentils which cook a whole lot faster than garbanzos. I cooked it forever and they never got soft--someone told me because cooking in stock means cooking in salt and that retards softening. I knew about acid but salt was new to me as a no no.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hi Anonymous, I actually did make it and my chickpeas did in fact cook within the time I specified above. Did you soak yours first? And if so, for how long? I tend to soak my beans for around 15 hours, so by that time they end up cooking in around 20 minutes. This is, of course, highly variable and depends on how fresh the beans are. I would suggest par-cooking them until they are almost fully tender and then finishing them as I've described here.
