I have a special place in my heart for Mediterranean food as my grandmother often makes it for large family gatherings. (She perfected her skills after living in Baghdad and Beirut for 20+ years.) I love the simple salads and side dishes this food genre has to offer. And I love the nutritional and filling nature of chick peas. And who doesn't love feta cheese? Lots of love here in this dish. :)
INGREDIENTS:
2 cans chick peas, drained, rinsed and patted dry
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 Tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
olive oil
Juice of one lemon
1/3 cup feta cheese
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, mix chick peas, garlic, and mint and drizzle with olive oil. Mix to coat. Lay mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove mixture from oven, and let cool slightly. Transfer chick peas to a serving bowl and add lemon juice, feta cheese and salt and pepper.
Enjoy!
