Quick Chickpea Bites with Awaze Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 can Canned Chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Berbere spice blend
• 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Awaze Sauce

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, mash the 1 can Canned Chickpeas with a fork until they are mostly broken down but still have some texture.
2. 2Heat the 1 tablespoon of Vegetable Oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the 1/4 medium Onion, finely chopped, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent.
3. 3Add the 1 clove Garlic, minced, to the skillet and cook for 1 minute more, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4. 4Stir in the 1 teaspoon Berbere spice blend, 1/2 teaspoon Cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon Salt. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring, until the spices are fragrant.
5. 5Add the mashed chickpeas to the skillet. Stir everything together to coat the chickpeas evenly with the spices and aromatics. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is heated through.
6. 6Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice.
7. 7Serve the chickpea mixture warm with a side of the 2 tablespoons Awaze Sauce for dipping.
