A good friend emailed Marash Girl at 2:30 this morning (yes, 2:30 AM) to ask for Marash Girl's recipe for chick pea salad, a salad Marash Girl had made for an event at the Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance Boston Film Festival two years ago. Now you, too, can make this delicious, nutritious Middle Eastern (Armenian) bean salad!
Gallon can chick peas (from Costco). Rinse beans well with cold water before using. Marinate overnight in olive oil, kosher salt, Aintab red pepper, freshly squeezed lemon juice and good wine vinegar that has had a garlic clove sitting in it from day one. Before serving, chop fresh Italian parsley, scallions or chives, and green bell peppers (optional). Add to chick peas, stir and serve! This is a recipe that Marash Girl and her daughters have developed over the years and always serve at their large gatherings, both in Wilbraham and in Newton! This salad is even more delicious the next day!
