Katie always does Vegan Iron Chef challenges for Mofo and this year she's posting them at the main Vegan Mofo blog. I've never done one because I am not good at just tossing stuff about and coming up with something edible. But the first challenge ingredient posted was chickpeas and I just happened to have a pound soaking for a cookin' and I had no plans for them.I am not too up on the hip vegan food trends, so I have never roasted a chickpea before. I decided to dice some onion and toss with the great garbanzos along with some olive oil, corriander, mustard seed, a wee bit of cumin, some pepper, some red pepper flakes and maybe one or two spices I am forgetting. They roasted for a good bit while I prepared cabbage vijita (cabbage sauteed with mustard seed, coriander and pepper) and then I dumped it all in a bowl for dinner.
Quite tasty! Now some of you may not think this is much of a recipe, most likely because it isn't, but I was pleased with the results of something new for me inspired by Vegan Mofo.

That looks and sounds good to me. I am always pro-chickpea!
JohnP, I will make it for you some time. I love the cabbage vijita at this time of year. Or anytime really. But especially in the autumn.
That sounds amazing. I approve!
Cabbage and chickpeas were made for one another.
Looks good to me, I love chickpeas.
Sounds and looks really tasty. You really should give yourself more credit :)
Will you just look at the dice on that cabbage? Knife skills, you has them.
I think this sounds really yum.
I could totally see myself eating something like that in the near future. Yummy +1
