Ingredients
1 SMALL can of chickpeas1 Lime1/2 tbsp. butter, melted (unsalted. if all you have is salted, omit the extra salt)1/2 tsp. Garlic, crushedSalt, to taste1-2 Tbsp. waterYou may want to add any of the following: Black Pepper, Paprika, Diced Chili Peppers or Jalepenos, Mustard Powder,
Drain the can of chickpeas, but save all of the liquid.
Drop chickpeas into blender, add water, and turn on lowest setting. It will be a little chunky at first, add a bit of the reserved liquid if you want it smoother.
Add garlic, lime juice, and butter, and process on medium for 1-2 min, or until it is a texture you like. (I like mine very light and fluffy, so generally there is about 5 tbsp. of liquid added to it.)
Scrape out into a bowl / small cup, and enjoy!
You may want to add any of the following: Black Pepper, Paprika, Diced Chili Peppers or Jalepenos, Mustard Powder, or any spice, pepper or juice you like.
This may be made without the garlic if you prefer, or with a lot more if you love it. You can substitute olive oil for the butter, lemon juice or a flavoured vinegar for the lime juice.
Also, in a pinch, any soft bean will work for this. Pinto, white, navy, I have even used leftover lima beans and left out the garlic.
Serving Size: Makes 2, 1/2 cup servings, or enough for several sandwiches.
