Fall Chickpea Salad

Cooking with peaches is so yummy.

Normally I don’t suggest to mix fruit with other food categories, but cooking the sweet fruit in with the foods tends to make it a little easier on the digestive system. So when peaches are in season, I cook them.

Ingredients:

  • Chickpeas – 1 can  (I used organic canned chickpeas but you can also cook them yourself from dry)
  • 1 peach, cubed or sliced
  • 4 sun-dried tomatoes (soaked first in water)
  • dash of sea-salt
  • freshly ground pepper (about a tbsp. before grinding if you like it on the spicy side.
  • un-toasted sesame oil for cooking (or another cooking oil that you prefer)

Method:

Put all the ingredients together in a baking dish in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees and cook for 20 min.

Serve with some green vegetables. I also did a version where I had a piece of cod in the middle of the pan so the fish and chickpeas baked together. It was really yummy.
