Balila
Ingredients
2 cups canned chickpeas (1 425g can)
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp salt
Steps
- Put the chickpeas in a pot and cover with water and put over medium heat for around 10 minutes (chickpeas are already cooked but I like to soften them up, so the time depends on how soft you like them). Drain the chickpeas and set aside in a bowl. Keep half a cup of their water for the dressing
- In a seperate bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, chickpea water, garlic, salt, cumin, and 2-3 tbsp of cooked chickpeas (mash them first)
- Pour the mixture over the chickpeas and stir.
- Taste and adjust (lemon, oil, salt, cumin). Sprinkle some cumin on top and serve
