Expert Tips

Garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, have a round, irregular shape and nutlike flavor. These "little chicks" are very popular in Indian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Italian and Mexican cuisines.

No need to crumble your own feta. Look for crumbled cheese at your grocery store.

I love this dish. I always add more feta cheese; just because I like it that way. Feeds plenty too.

Quick tastey meal. I added a green pepper and onion and the feta cheese was a great topper.

not a lot of flavor in this dish, and the ingredients didn''t seem to blend well together.
