Categories     Other Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 can(s) garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained, reserve 1/4 cup of liquid
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 Tbsp sweet pickle relish
2 tsp brown mustard
2 green onions, this sliced
pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Place garbanzo beans in a food processor. Pulse to desired consistancy (the more you pulse, the finer the consistancy). I like it with small pieces of beans. If it seems too dry, add a teaspoon or so of the reserved liquid. (No food processor? Mash the beans with a fork)
  • 2. Place beans in a small bowl. Add rest of ingredients and stir to combine. For a creamier texture, add a little more mayonnaise.
  • 3. Adjust seasoning and serve. Great on a bun with lettuce and tomato.

GARLIC GARBANZO BEAN SPREAD

I wanted to try something besides hummus with garbanzo beans. I wasn't sure how the olive oil would taste (I kept wanting to add tahini instead), but it's very good. This would be a great after school snack because it's quick to prepare and healthy. You could also eat on bread like a sandwich.

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.

Time 30m

Yield About 3 1/2 cups chickpea spread

Number Of Ingredients 12

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
Salt and pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced

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

Steps:

Add garlic, cumin, red pepper flakes and celery. Stir to combine let sizzle without browning for 1 minute.
  • 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. Serve warm in pita or as a dip or side dish. Garnish with quartered eggs, accompanied by minted yogurt and tahini sauce, if desired.
