Recipe - Chick Pea Salad With Garlic-Cumin Vinaigrette

1 cup Dried chickpeas, soaked
1 One half cup Finely minced red onion
6 tablespoon Olive oil
4 Garlic cloves, crushed
1 Red jalapeno chili, minced
3 tablespoon Finely chopped minced herbs
1 tablespoon Cilantro leaves
2 tablespoon Lemon juice
1 One half tablespoon Coarsely crushed cumin seeds
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Drain soaked chickpeas and cook, covered, in water to cover until tender,
about 2 hours or a little longer. Plunge them into cold water, then rub
them between fingers to remove the skins. For the vinaigrette, whisk olive
oil with garlic, jalapeno, herbs, vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Pour over the salad and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning with
salt and vinegar, let stand 30 minutes or longer. Add cilantro leaves as
garnish. Serve at room temperature.
