ok so it didnt dawn on me til after i did this...i got 3 cans of garbanzo (chickpea) beans...rinsed them off with water to try to eliminate some of the artifical stuff they put in the can...turned on the pan and put 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil in it....marinated the beans with onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and basil....and tossed them into the pan so i can heat them all up....well....yea...im not that much of a cooking buff so i shoulda realized this even before...i started to hear the "sizzling" sound as if it were frying...
so i was rotating the beans around so they can al get heated up....and then finished...well now im left with a bin of what im thinking to be FRIED garbanzo beans...i mean they arent "fried" per say...but...should i just toss it and not consider eating it?...im not sure this would be the same as eating regular beans that i just throw them in the pan and wait till they boil....damn
