Instructions
- The easiest way to prepare the chick peas is to drain them and put them in a bowl of water. Microwave for 30 seconds. Carefully rub the chickpeas between your hands to remove the shells. You don’t have to shell them all, but try to get the majority.
- Put the chickpeas and all other ingredients into a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. You may need to add some warm water (a teaspoon at a time) if too thick.
- Garnish and serve.
