Cauliflower and Chickpea Stuffed Ghapama with Herbs
Cauliflower and Chickpea Stuffed Ghapama with Herbs is a delicious Armenian dish that is perfect for any occasion. This dish is a combination of tender cauliflower, hearty chickpeas, and flavorful herbs, all stuffed inside a warm and fluffy bread.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 large cauliflower head, chopped into small florets
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup of chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, mint, and cilantro)
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom
- 1/2 teaspoon of ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 4 large round bread loaves (such as pita or lavash)
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the cauliflower florets, chickpeas, herbs, olive oil, salt, and spices until everything is well coated.
Next, cut off the top of each bread loaf and remove the inside, leaving a hollow shell. Stuff each bread loaf with the cauliflower and chickpea mixture, packing it in tightly.
Place the stuffed bread loaves on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. The appearance of this dish is stunning, with the golden brown bread and colorful filling. The taste is equally impressive, with a perfect balance of spices and herbs that complement the tender cauliflower and hearty chickpeas.
This dish can be classified as a vegetarian main course and its three main ingredients are cauliflower, chickpeas, and herbs. Enjoy this delicious and healthy dish with your family and friends!
