I just found this great recipe my Mom faxed me years ago, while digging through some old recipes. It’s so simple to make and very quick – instant gratification. It’s a great way to transform ordinary garbanzo beans into something fabulous, and get your protein too. If you like heat add some green chilies with the onions. Enjoy!

1 cup of onions (chopped)
1 15oz can of garbanzo beans (rinsed and drained)
1⁄2 heaped teaspoon Garam Masala
Pinch of Cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1⁄4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
