Piccadilly Chickpeas
I know — another recipe. I’m running out of stomach space!! Please come over for dinner and bring your friends so that I can treat you to all of my new favorites.
I’ve been pleasantly surprised to discover that vegetarian cuisine doesn’t necessarily require long lists of weird ingredients or cumbersome appliances. Honestly, the only gadget I really need is my mini cuisinart processor. This is a very good thing, as I’m going to be doing some serious downsizing when I move into my London digs and I’d far rather bring an extra pair of shoes than a bulky dehydrator or juicer.
But we’ll talk about dorm decor and organization later; I’ve tempted you with that pretty picture long enough! These Piccadilly Chickpeas (inspired by my excitement for London, and my penchant for silly puns) are hearty, bursting with flavor, and so good that you’ll be finding excuses to eat them with anything. I may or may not have dug in with my hands like a savage.

My latest lunch obsession. These knock tuna salad right out of the water.
adapted from Oh She Glows
Ingredients
- 1 can organic chickpeas, drained
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 cup freshly chopped dill
- juice from 1 lemon
- 1 tbsp oil (sunflower or olive)
- 1 kosher pickle + 2 tbsp pickle juice*
- 1 tbsp tahini
- 2 tsp nutritional yeast
*you can leave this out and sub in a little bit of water or olive oil, but I think the tangy pickle flavor is what makes this dish.
Method
- Sautee chickpeas, coconut oil and garlic over medium heat until golden, roughly 6-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make your sauce! Blend remaining ingredients in food processor until combined.
- Toss chickpeas in dill mixture until well coated
- Serve with potatoes, on/alongside a salad, in a wrap with extra pickle, etc.
My favorite way to eat these? In a Piccadilly Caesar with vegan Caesar dressing — recipe soon!
Question for you!
I recently tried to rehydrate some dried chickpeas. It worked just fine, but I had no idea about proportions, so now I have 5-6 cups to use up (oops). What are your favorite chickpea recipes? Thanks, bloggies!

mmm, dill! i’ll try anything with dill and this looks great!
I’m all about the dill, too. I grew up with my mom’s tzatziki and crunchy breadsticks as my after-school snack.
I adore chickpeas, and the color of this dish is so vibrant!
Have you ever had roasted chickpeas? Oh my goodness, they’re the best! I usually just roast them with a little oil, s&P and a heap of nooch. So good! I also like them with Sriracha sauce for a kick.
I’ve never tried roasted chickpeas, but I definitely should! I’ll google how long to cook them for/at what temperature. Thanks for the idea!
