Having just tasted this, with a fairly rough blend, it tastes somewhat like spicy roasted peanuts. Yum!

Mise en place

  • Soak the chickpeas in cold water for at least 24 hours, rinsing now and then

  6. Add the chopped onions and fry for 6 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked chickpeas stir and remove from the heat.
  8. Add the contents to a food processor and blitz to your desired consistency.
