Made With Metta: Curried Chickpeas

Cooking is an act of love and care for our chefs, and this curried chickpea recipe is no exception. Chef Zack brought this recipe back to life while exploring an archived cookbook. During an unusually cold and rainy retreat last weekend, Chef Tarrah warmed our hearts and spirits with this generous offering. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
