Very easy and simple to make...but delicious as well. Made this for the Herculean Challenge at the request of my guest artist! Thanks for sharing. -
I made 1/2 recipe and loved the flavor! I love chickpeas. Served with Recipe #428353 for lunch and that made a great combination. Thanks for posting littlemafia. Made for Zwizzle Chicks for ZWT6. -
I love chickpeas so I knew I'd like this dish. What took me by surprise was how much I loved it! The lemon flavor is wonderful and I can't wait to make it again. I made this almost as written. I was too hungry to wait for 1 hour of cooking and then cooling so I cooked it at a higher heat to hurry up the evaporation of the liquid. Made for ZWT6 Ssassy's -
These were very good! I made 1/2 a recipe for me & my toddler for lunch. We both really enjoyed the dish. I especially loved the tang provided by the lemon. Thanks for posting, littlemafia! Made & enjoyed for Kid-Friendly Forum's Greek challenge. ZWT-6 Team Xtra Hot Dishes! :)

I come from the land of Dracula and I have two little daughters; they're three years apart.I travelled a lot and I lived in Hungary,Croatia,Canada,Thailand,Japan and Iran(DH is from here). I've seen a lot of wonderful places, the travel bug is still in me but waiting for DDs to grow a little so we can go together. Lots of wonderful memories and hoping to add some more,but my travelling style has to be adjusted now.No more backpacking! I feel old,suddenly.
My girls are everything for me and I'm lucky that I'm able to be at home with them.My life really changed since having them.
I like eating healthy,DH works out a lot and taught me about the right foods.Right now I'm trying to lose a few kg,but I'm happy if I lose one kg/month. Never needed a drastic diet,I drink a lot of water and luckylly there's no McDonalds here(yet) to eat junk food. I prefer homemade cooking to restaurants, these days we can make a better tasting meal at home. I like knowing what goes in my food and what hands are cooking it. I always look at a chef's hands and believe me I've seen dirty fingers too!
I came to the Zaar to look for a pancake recipe and now my refrigerator is full with jars of homemade stuff. I made a lot of friends and I enjoy playing in the tag games since receiving a premium membership gift from Sydney Mike. Thank you, Syd.
I want to thank everyone who makes my recipes and takes the time to take photos. Sometimes I loose track and I can't get back to thank each person making a recipe. I don't mind if someone doesn't stick to the recipe,everyone's taste and needs are different,sometimes ingredients are hard to find and I know this better than most. Please feel free to experiment and hope we'll learn something new from your feedback.
