Chickpeas with Garlic and Parsley
  1. Cook 3 tbsp oil, garlic, and pepper flakes in 12 inch skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until garlic turns golden but not brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in onion and ¼ tsp salt and cook until softened and lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in chickpeas and broth and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until chickpeas are heated through and flavors meld, about 7 minutes.

  2. Uncover, increase heat to high and continue to cook until nearly all liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes. Off heat, stir in parsley and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp oil. Serve.

  3. VARIATION: Add 1 chopped bell pepper to skillet with onion. Substitute 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil for parsley and stir in 2 thinly sliced scallions before serving.
