Lately I have been trying to come up with some ways to make my daily eating more interesting. I try to cook as much as I can but of course get lazy. And when choosing places to eat in this great city of New York, the tendency is to try something new, but sometimes you need a little push.
Hence the idea of "Eat the theme". Each week (or whenever I want to do it) I am going to pick an ingredient or a dish or even a culture. Then through the week I will cook, eat, and learn that theme. You can think of it as "Iron Chef" extended over a week and with only one contestant.
The first installment........
Chickpeas
