Soledad's Garbonzo Beans
INGREDIENTS
- Garbonzo beans
- Garlic
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Dill
- Salt
DIRECTIONS
- If you are using dried garbonzo beans, follow the soaking instructions on the package (or just soak overnight).
- Drain garbonzos and toss with crushed garlic, dill and olive oil. Don't go overboard on the olive oil -- a tablespoon or so should do. (You can skip this step if you are short on time. I think it makes the flavors more intense).
- Sautee garbonzos in a large pan, adding more olive oil if necessary. Salt to taste.
RECIPE BACKSTORY
When I was living in Santiago, Chile, my host mother used to make these at least once a week. She always served them with rice as a meal.
