Griddled Fresh Chickpeas
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon toasted ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon toasted ground cumin
- 1 pound fresh chickpeas in pods
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 lime
Steps
- Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl; set chile salt aside.
- Heat 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. Working 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 chile salt, squeeze lime over, and toss to coat. The chickpeas are meant to be eaten like edamame. Do not eat the pods.
