Warm chickpeas covered with thick humus texture sauce that tastes salty and smoky but fresh and lemony at the same time. Beautiful healthy side alternative for potato lovers. More protein fewer calories.

    Ingredients for the best chickpeas recipe
  • Put the chickpeas together with the liquid in a pot on high heat. When comes to a boil let boil for 1 min and then drain. Immediately add smoked paprika, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil. Mix thoroughly pressing1/4 of the chickpeas against the pot so a little mash absorbs all the flavors and covers the chickpeas with a thick flavorful sauce.
