We ate this without the pomegranate or romaine and it was still scrumptious.

Fantastic flavor profile. The juicy punch of the pomegranate balances out the chickpea texture. I will make this again.

This was such an interesting recipe we had to try it! We love Baharat seasoning and the addition of the seasoning to chickpeas was so clever and delicious. I ate the extras as snacks! The kids got all of the pomegranate seeds out for me, so it was a family made meal! We had this with Cajun quinoa chicken and it went very well together! Another winner!!
