I am a huge fan of canned beans, it’s the ultimate convenience food! I don’t care how prepared you are, I never have the forethought to soak beans overnight. Here is my recipe for flavour bomb beans!
1. Start by steeping your garlic cloves in olive oil over low heat for 20 minutes until the garlic gets super soft. This is also called confit.
2. Add that garlicky oil to a new pan and add the shallots and cook for 5 minutes with salt and pepper.
3. Add the chickpeas and lemon zest and warm through.
4. Add the herbs, lemon juice and a few whole soft garlic cloves, smash the garlic with the back of a spoon. Mix to combine.
5. If you want it more dippable, add extra garlic oil to coat everything! Serve with warm pita and enjoy!
