Hi there, Reader Spicy Chickpea Smash! So simple to make with only 3 ingredients (plus salt & pepper). You can have a batch made up in minutes! Put it in sandwiches and wraps, dollop it on a pile of greens or a baked potato. It's so yummy! My current fave way to eat it is as per the pic. On toast, with avocado, sprouts of some kind, a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and lots of cracked black pepper. Click here for the recipe!
