Instructions
- 1
Pat the drained chickpeas dry with a clean kitchen towel, then spread them on the towel and press gently to remove as much moisture as possible — drier chickpeas hold together better.
- 2
Transfer the chickpeas to a large mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until mostly broken down with some larger pieces remaining — the mixture should look chunky and hold together when pressed, not smooth like hummus.
