"Cooking Quick & Simple" - Lablabi (لبلابي) (a Tunisian dish)

stale bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: fresh bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients.

harissa

🥗Healthier: sriracha

💰Cheaper: red pepper flakes

Sriracha offers a similar heat with fewer ingredients.

chickpeas

🥗Healthier: lentils

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Lentils cook faster and are often less expensive.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and has a neutral flavor.

Wash chickpeas and soak overnight (if using dried).

If desired, rinse them again. In a large soup pot, cover chickpeas with water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender (ten to twenty minutes).

Add garlic, harissa sauce, ground cumin, and salt. Simmer for ten minutes.

Immediately before serving: add lemon juice, olive oil, and bread crumbs. Serve hot.
