Seared Butternut Squash with Crispy Curried Chickpeas
Some married people cheat when their husbands go out for the evening; I eat chickpeas.
Craig doesn’t like chickpeas. He’ll eat them if they’re ground into a hummus, but presented in its original form, he’d almost rather eat anything else. I, on the other hand, adore them for their versatility: you can stew them, you can roast them, or — as in the case here — you can fry them in oil, add lots of aromatics and spices, and serve them over butternut squash.
