Chickpea Recipes

The name of the podcast comes from one of the greatest moments on the show, when Ezra’s evil-doing is revealed (as if it were in doubt) by asking Aria to buy chickpeas when she goes to the grocery store and then showing a can of chickpeas in his cupboard. We also happen to love chickpeas, so every episode, we share a chickpea recipe that we’ve made or that has been recommended to us by special guests.

We also generally recommend the Rancho Gordo bean catalog
if you want to be on an email list for different types of beans, and Banza if you want chickpea-based options for eating gluten-free. We promise we are not sponsored by Big Chickpea or anyone except our own wallets!
