Chickpea's are commonly used in greek and moroccan foods, and are brilliant for vegetarians! Beacuse they help make a healthy, substantial meal! They are very filling, trust me! My favourite dishes with chickpeas are...
falafel - basically ALL chickpea! Plus spices, onion and parsley. But basically chickpeas smooshed together and lightley fried, now i know what your thinking FRIED?! I hate fried food to be honest, but i drain my falafel with kitchen towels when i have made them, in fact i'm making them tonight for dinner!
Falafel burgers < - i always prefer them to burgers?!My second favourite use for these little gems is when my mum uses them in her gorgeous morroccan lamb stews :) yumm! She uses spices like cinnamon and paprika and adds chickpeas last minute for a little more depth and texture
< Morroccan Stew - Can anyone spot the chikpeas? ;) I counted 3 lolChickpeas are also a great addition to salads, and i like them with cous cous or grilled veggies such as aubergine (eggplant)
< red onion, tomato's and corriander are amazing with chickpeas as a side salad Chickpeas nutritional value per 100g - 164 calories and 2.59g of fat
Eat up!

They seem to be awesome! I've wanted to eat them for a few weeks already. Seems like it's really hard to find them in here though. My mom doesn't really like new and unknown foods either.
Lol, I probably must wait until I live alone and decide myself over the things I eat.
You're so lucky. (:
