Garbanzo beans are not something I grew up eating, it was pinto, navy or great northern, as far as dried beans went. Of course they have to be cooked with a ham hock or some sort of pork fat. I first discovered these wonderful little nutty tasting things when everyone started making them part of there salad bars. Yes, I remember when salad bars were invented!
I can make a meal of these or use as a wonderful side dish.
