Fried Chick Peas (Cece Fritos)
Chef: Kevin Weeks
Food Mood: Holiday
Cuisine: Mediterranean

Description
I first had these in a roadside taverna about two hours north of Rome while visiting the Etruscan tombs. Upon returning to the states I did my best to recreate the recipe

Servings: 8

Ingredients
2 cans chick peas/garbanzos (15oz cans)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
salt and pepper to taste

Method
Drain, rinse, and dry the chick peas. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chick peas and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the peas begin to pop.

Drain chick peas on a paper towel and sprinkle with seasonings.

Prep time: 15 minutes
