Cooking
Cooking time I have listed excluding soaking and cooking chickpeas. First soak the chickpeas for 4 hours. Then wash it and put on to cook. The proportion of chickpeas and water 1:5. Bring to a boil over high heat, then turn down the gas.
5 minutes until cooked potseluem chickpeas, add chopped coriander and 1 tsp ground cumin. Coriander is desirable to put in any dish with beans. Why? Everyone knows that eating dishes of beans cherevato bloating and flatulence, this magical seasoning eliminates this side effect!
In the ground coriander rapidly loses its properties and aroma, so it must be stored peas and grind immediately before use. It is advisable to do this in a mortar, but I don't have it and I knead the spices with a wooden pestle on the Board. After 5 minutes, turn off the chickpeas. I leave it for some time in liquid to absorb flavor of spices. Then recline in a colander.
Cut tomatoes diced
Grind the garlic. Don't be afraid of that amount of garlic in this salad is not spicy, the garlic becomes almost invisible, blending in harmony with the rest of the ingredients!
Take a large bunch of cilantro. You can use different herbs (dill or parsley), but in Arabic cuisine that uses cilantro. As you know, coriander is coriander seeds. and has the above-described properties of coriander)
Finely chop the cilantro.
Mix in a bowl the tomatoes, garlic and cilantro. Add half of lemon juice. Add 1 tsp of cumin.
Add the chickpeas. Mix everything. Pour the remaining lemon juice and season with olive oil (about a tablespoon in volume)
I usually prepare this salad for dinner. Put it still warm chickpeas - a warm salad. This amount of ingredients enough for 4 servings: 2 we eat warm at dinner and the remaining 2 the next day. Get different flavors!)) You can just give the salad to stand for several hours before serving, then he will be even juicier and more aromatic!))) Bon appetit!)))
