Garbanzo beans, or chickpeas, are a staple in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking. They are known for their nutty flavor and firm texture.
Chickpeas are incredibly versatile. Toss them into soups (Greek chickpea soup is a personal favorite), mix them into garbanzo bean salad, or roast a batch for a crunchy chickpea snack or gluten-free crouton upgrade ever.
I could never forget the falafel and hummus recipes. They are Middle Eastern staples made with mostly chickpeas.
