MEDITERRANEAN SMASHED CHICKPEAS



Mediterranean Smashed Chickpeas image

You smash half the chickpeas in this recipe to make a spread, sort of a warm rustic hummus enhanced with garlic cumin and hot pepper, along with a liberal drizzle of olive oil. You can use either freshly cooked dried beans or canned chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans), though freshly cooked is always preferable. Tuck some into a pita for a vegetarian sandwich or serve as a dip to eat with bread and olives; a dollop of minty yogurt and a drizzle of tahini sauce make nice additions.

Yield About 3 1/2 cups chickpea spread

Number Of Ingredients 12

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced

4 cups chickpeas (garbanzo beans), cooked or canned
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 hard-cooked eggs, peeled and quartered (optional)
Minted yogurt (optional), see notes

  • Add chickpeas and let them heat through. With a potato masher or wooden spoon, crush about half the beans. Stir well, taste and adjust seasoning. Add 1/2 cup water (or bean cooking liquid if you have it) and let mixture simmer briskly for a minute or two. Stir in lemon juice and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
