Shortcut Hummus
There was a period of my life during the pandemic, where like the rest of the world, I was stocking up on ingredients as if I was preparing for a world apocalypse.
It was unfortunate and scary time, and we were blessed and privileged to be able to stock up on ingredients we thought we might not have access to.
During that time I purchased a lot of canned products, and one of these ingredients were canned chickpeas.
They stayed in my pantry for a while, and I think it’s finally time to utilize them once and for all to have some space in my pantry!
