Roasted Garbanzo Beans

In the mean time, for those of us who don't have a vegetable garden planted*, here is a recipe that I have made many times to great reviews.  You can use it as a appetizer or small meal.

ROASTED GARBANZO BEANS

3 cans garbanzo beans, drained – chick peas

½ lb. minced chorizo sausage

4 cloves chopped garlic

1 onion chopped – Red

Olive oil

Sherry vinegar

Smoked paprika

2 large chopped red peppers – small chop

Salt and pepper – crushed red pepper

½ cup chopped flat Italian parsley

Shaved Manchego cheese

Place drained beans, sausage, onion, pepper, and garlic, paprika and olive oil on cookie sheet.  Roast at 400 degrees until onions are caramelized.  Remove from oven and drizzle with sherry vinegar.  Adjust seasonings if necessary.  Mix in fresh herbs.  Top with shaved Manchego.  Serve with toasted bread.

Notes:


- You can can cook the sausage separately and drain for less fat

- make sure you add the vinegar after it cooks, if you can't  find a sherry vinegar you can substitute a white wine vinegar.
