Servings: persons

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, preferably organic
½ cup onion, chopped
2 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon coriander
½ teaspoon curry powder (I used Penzey's Balti curry powder)
1 teaspoon cumin
⅛ teaspoon cayenne or ⅛ teaspoon red chili powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice (to taste)
14-½ cup fresh parsley or 14-½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1
Saute the onions in the oil for about 5 minutes.
2
Add minced garlic and spices and saute another 2 minutes or until fragrant.
3
Be sure to keep stirring to avoid sticking or the garlic getting too dark.
4
Drain the chickpeas, reserving their liquid.
5
Add them to a blender or food processor with just enough liquid to blend.
6
If using a blender, like I have, be patient, and keep scraping down the sides.
7
Once chickpeas are somewhat smooth, add the sauteed onion, garlic and spice mixture from the stove and blend until combined.
8
Scrape into a bowl and add lime/lemon juice if using, and fold in fresh parsley or cilantro.
9
Serve with grilled pita or as a dip for fresh veggies.
