Hi Dana – I cooked up some dried heirloom garbanzo beans last night and whipped up this receipe today. I used sweet smoked paprika instead of plain paprika and am finding the paprika taste a little bit overpowering (first time I’ve used the smoked paprika – so maybe I should’ve used less than what you call for here?). Anything you could suggest to help cut or mellow out the paprika flavor? Thanks.

This looks so good, Dana! I love chickpeas, but find I can get a bit board of them if the recipe isn’t interesting. This looks great, though! It’s nice to see some healthy food on blogs once in a while, isn’t it? ;-)

Hi VB! Yes, you could totally substitute either brown rice or couscous – brown rice would be nuttier which would mimic the nutty flavor of the bulgur. Rice and lentils should cook in about the same amount of time.

When I get protein cravings, i generally reach for the cheese (eeks!). At other times some tofu or a protein shake will keep me happy. But this sounds so satisfying! I love that you added mint. Goya is the only chickpeas i use too, they are great in hummus as well. I dont have bulgar though, what could i use instead? brown rice? couscous?
