Chick pea puree

Ingredients
• 2 tins of chick peas
• Za'atar spice mix
• 1 tbsp of butter
• Salt and pepper

Boil the chickpeas on moderate heat until soft. Drain them and purify them in the food processor, or as in my case, with the mixer (takes slightly more effort…). Heat the puree again on very low heat, and stir in a tablespoon of good butter. Season with za'ater spice mix from Oxfam Fair Trade, salt and pepper.

I served this chick pea puree with zuchini fries and falafel, but I think it would go well with any slightly arab inspired dish. Lots of protein in there!

Also, I suspect I could use this chick pea puree to make my own falafel. I'll keep you posted if I ever get that far.
