15 Minute Garlic Chickpeas
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 3 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 400g can chickpeas
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 200g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 40g parmesan, shaved
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley
- Salt, pepper
Method
- In a medium sized frying pan over a low-medium heat, add 1 tbsp of butter. Once hot add the garlic and chilli flakes. Cook until the garlic is golden, about 2-3 minutes. Stir often.
- Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
- Add the chickpeas (along with the liquid) and the smoked paprika. If you don’t want to add the liquid from the can, just add about 100ml of water/stock!
- Stir until the chickpeas are heated through and mash about half of them (using a fork or potato masher), then taste for seasoning and add extra salt/pepper as needed.
- Stir in the parmesan, then top with the chopped parsley and the extra virgin olive oil. And that’s everything!
