With the surplus of one of my favorite foods--nectarines--I thought I'd be innovative and make a sweet bean dish for breakfast. I drained and rinsed a can of chic peas, fried them in Olivio, flavored them with cloves and cinnamon, and ate them with chopped nectarines.
One word: YUCK.
Chic peas are versatile and can be delicious in sweet dishes. (Just wait until Christmas--maybe I'll make my chic pea chocolate cookies from a very old Italian recipe.) What I failed to realize in this dish was there was not enough sweet to cancel out all the salt used in canned beans. It just doesn't work. I'll bet if I had cooked my own, without salt, it would have been great.
