A little spicy from curry powder and turmeric and smoky from pimenton de la vera, these chickpeas are simple to put together and easy to toss on a salad or vegetable. Smoked paprika, or pimenton de la vera, is quite unlike bland regular paprika. It’s roasted over oak logs and has a deep, smoky flavor that enhances casseroles, soups, and vegetable dishes (most famously, paella). Start with my basic chickpea recipe or with canned chickpeas, mix in the spices, olive oil, and salt, and you’re done.
