Readers of my blog know that I LOVE chickpeas! They are so versatile in every genre of food. This super-easy recipe combines chickpeas with another great love of mine, cheese.
Prep time: 10 min // Cooking time: 15 min // Total time: 25 min
You’ll need:
- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed

- 1/4 cup boiling water
- kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 1/3 pound mozzarella, shredded (about 1 1/3 cups)

Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil over medium high heat in a 10-12 inch skillet. Add the onion and saute until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Add the chickpeas and stir to combine, followed by the marinara sauce and boiling water to thin it out. Season with salt and pepper.
