Burnt orange chickpea slaw

burnt orange chickpea slaw

Some friends invited us over for some smoked lamb tacos and asked us to bring a side. I immediately thought of burnt orange which has been an obsession of mine for months. For chinese new year we paired it with pomegranate pork belly buns, I included it in a fig charoset recipe requested by my sister and was throwing it in salads and cocktails left and right. Tacos generally want a slaw I think, so cabbage seemed logical and I made some crunchy spiced chickpeas to complement the seasoning on the lamb. The final touch was adding little fried cotija crumbles to add just a hint of briny salt. It was perfect with the lamb and the leftovers were great as well. I would suggest reserving some chickpeas for any leftovers as they will get soft over time.
