First, smash the chickpeas.
-
Place the chickpeas in a large bowl and using a potato masher, mash them slightly. You’re going to ‘smashed’ rather than ‘mushed’, does that make sense?
-
In other words, you want the chickpea to be broken but still mostly intact.
-
Once the chickpeas are smashed, add the other ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
