Sautéed Fresh Chickpeas Fresh chickpeas are freshly picked green garbanzo beans. Fresh chickpeas are available only a few weeks a year in farmers and specialty markets. I happened to walk into a wonderful ethic market the other day and it's the first thing I spotted. I bought them without knowing what to do with them. They are freshly picked green garbanzo beans. This method sautés them in their shell and you eat them like edamame.

  • Cook: 5 mins
  • Yields: 4 - 6 Servings

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 pound fresh chickpeas in pods

1 Tablespoon olive oil

½ lime, juiced

Directions

1Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat on the stove or a grill until smoking. Combine chickpeas and oil in a medium bowl; toss to coat.

2Working in batches if needed, arrange chickpeas in a single layer in skillet. Cook,stirring a couple of times, until pods are tender and browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Return to bowl; sprinkle with cayenne, salt, squeeze lime over, and toss to coat. The chickpeas are meant to be eaten like edamame. Do not eat the pods.
