A simple dip with a bite. If you don't have a blender or processor you can smash it up with a big fork. Impress your friends. Practice your Hulk smash.
Ingredients:
-Can of garbanzo beans/chickpeas
-4 cloves of garlic(more or less to taste)
-Paprika
-Salt
-Pepper
-Olive Oil(light drizzle, if you want numbers lets start with 2 tablespoons and add a tablespoon until it gets to the dip thickness you like)
-Whatever you want to dip in it.(tortilla slices, pita chips, toasted bread...)
Equipment:
-Blender/Food Processor
OR
-Bowl and fork/large rock/hands(washed)
1. Chop your garlic, here's a quick lesson:
-cut off both tips of the garlic clove and then give it a good smash with either your hand or with something flat like the side of your knife. This smashing will loosen the skin so you can peel it off nicely. If you don't smash the clove you will sit there for the next god-awful unending minutes of your life picking at it until your nails bleed garlic juice.
-It helps to cut it into little slices in one direction, then little slices in the other direction to get even minced pieces, however feel free to reenact your favorite murder scene and have at it. As long as the pieces are tiny when they go into the mash your golden.
2. HULK SMASH, or pulse button. Blend or mash chickpeas from the can(drained, no one likes juicy drippy hummus)with olive oil and chopped garlic.
3. Your going to want to pretty well dust your mash with paprika(start with about a tablespoon and work up to taste).
4. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and mix up.
5. Scoop into a bowl and serve with anything that you can dip and scoop and munch with. I have cut up tortilla strips and leftover toast bread ends from the pizza bites recipe.
