Things To Do With Beans, Part Wev

[commodorified]

We bbq'd steak tonight and I didn't feel like The Usual Can Of Baked Beans.

1 can (1 1/2 cups, cooked) chick peas/garbanzo beans, drained.
1 large can (2 cups) of diced tomatoes, undrained.
1/8 cup lime or lemon juice.
1/2 bunch[1] dill, chopped finely.

Pensey's Mural of Flavour, to taste[2].
Black pepper, to taste.
Salt, to taste, very very cautiously.

Cook on medium until flavours have mingled, liquid is slightly reduced, and rest of meal is ready.

Sometimes it's good to just let chick peas taste like chick peas.

[1] Not a misprint. Seriously that much dill, and if you really like dill, more. If you really dislike dill, basil or cilantro or thyme or tarragon would probably be good. Whatever you use, be generous with it.

[2] It's okay if this means "none".

I agree, of course. But I'm a bit boggled that you would say so in the context of trying to make chickpeas taste like DILL.

This is probably a good place to recommend the new "Premium" Goya canned chickpeas, requiring neither can opener (pop-tab) nor rinsing (packed in clear liquid without much salt.) I like them quite a bit, and often eat them with only salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Or lemon juice and dill. Or zataar. I just put a small amount of the seasoning on the beans, close container, shake.

Except they don't; it's a very quick-cook recipe, and the tomato-dill sits quite demurely on top of the chick pea taste.
