Chick Pea Smash is a versatile, nutrient-packed dish inspired by Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine. Made primarily from mashed chickpeas, this recipe often includes olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and a blend of spices like cumin or paprika, with optional additions such as tahini or fresh herbs for extra flavor. Chickpeas are an excellent source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, supporting heart health, digestion, and sustained energy.
