The ingredients for Chickpea Chili Mad Mex are:

2 pounds fresh tomatillos, washed and peeled
2 jalapeno peppers, stems removed
1/2 cup roughly chopped Spanish onion (1/2-inch pieces)
4 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 (32 ounces) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Here is how you make Chickpea Chili Mad Mex:

Heat the oven to 500 degrees. Place the tomatillos in a heavy-duty ovenproof pan or pot with the jalapenos, onion, garlic, kosher salt and olive oil. Place the vegetables in the oven and roast until they are soft and lightly browned, for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the tomatillo mixture from the oven, pour into a blender and puree until smooth. You might have to do this in 2 batches. Pour the pureed mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, and pour the strained mixture into a saucepan. Place the pan over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the pepper and cilantro. Makes about 6 1/2 cups. [/FONT] Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MICHELEY1.
