CHICK PEAS MARINARA

SERVES 4

I love this recipe for chick peas, also known as garbanzo beans. It is easy, healthy and delicious as a side dish for many presentations.

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 large cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 can (14.5 ounces) whole tomatoes, crushed with fingers, with juices

1 tablespoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cans (about 1 pound each) chick peas, preferably low sodium, rinsed and drained

Heat olive oil in large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, juices, oregano, salt and pepper. Cook just until the tomatoes have broken down, about 5 minutes. Add the chick peas; taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the chick peas are hot and the juices have reduced, about 10 minutes. (Cover if the juices start to dry out.) Serve hot or room temperature.
