Garlicky Chickpea Mash
Make on Fresco
OK, so this nearly did me in…I couldn’t stop eating it and so I felt the recipe required copious testing. I do not do things by halves. Don’t say I didn’t warn you! Totally delicious, totally easy and you could potentially eat the entire batch in a sitting if not disciplined…just ask the photographer of the book it comes from, The Convenient Vegetarian. (Right, Shea?)
Go get your copy stat. You can use cracked black pepper if you wish, but I do love the black pepper oil from doTERRA. If you are not familiar yet with these oils, it is time to get on board. Join my team HERE.
