| | 1 | Open one can of chickpeas (think: any generic brand, reduced sodium) and drain, reserving 2 T liquid. Pour the chickpeas into a sturdy mixing bowl (not plastic). Add the reserved 2 T of liquid along with 1 T olive oil, 2 t lemon juice, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 T minced onion, 1 t salt (scant). Then, using your potato masher, mash mixture until it is smooth-ish. At first you''ll see the skins coming off the beans. But then they''ll get all smashed up. Don''t worry. Keep mashing. This recipe makes about 2 cups or 6 servings. |
