Quite Possibly the Best Chickpeas

This could quite possibly be my favorite preparation for chickpeas - simple, delicious and relying on only the simplest ingredients. The broth alone is heaven! I have served these with lemony sumac yogurt sauce, shish tawook, and dressed with lemon, parm and pepper over spinach. It makes a wonderful side to almost anything but also holds its own as a vegetarian main (it's great with black olives, spiced yogurt and a thick slice of good bread).
