A delightful warm salad featuring spiced chickpeas and fresh herbs, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Heat half of the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic to the pan, cooking until softened.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
Stir in the chickpeas, ground ginger, and chili flakes, cooking until heated through.
Ensure the chickpeas are evenly coated with the spices.
Pour in the lemon juice and let it simmer until mostly evaporated.
Scrape the bottom of the pan to incorporate all the flavors.
Mix in the chopped cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the herbs at the end to preserve their fresh flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and sprinkle with cumin and paprika.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
