    Garbanzos has to be one of my ,most favorite beans. To me it seems to be thee most versatile of all beans. And if you have not checked out my hummus recipe, my oh my, then you are missing something.

    I learned from a bunch of Arab women. Who better to learn from then Arabs?

    I love this particular salad. My family always makes this for summertime barbeque. This makes my mouth water in anticipation of warmer weather!

    Ciao Chuck! Yum! Perfetto! I just happen to have a couple of cans of chickpeas sitting around. Just this morning I was thinking it's a bit past time for pasta con cece, which is one of my favorites but always seems better in the fall and winter. This looks so good I am going to the kitchen to make it right now for dinner. Grazie!
