Great with wraps, crudités, rice cakes, flat bread and, my favourite, arugula with sumac. Recipe from Marc’s Mum, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Bless her whoever she is.
Ingredients
- 1 jar of chickpeas/garbanzo beans

Directions
- Rinse the beans 2-3 times and drain well.

Variations: Use lime instead of lemon juice. Add cumin or chilli powder.
