Ingredients

Instructions

1. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, shake off the water, then spread them in one layer on a cloth and gently pat them dry.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
3. Add the sliced garlic and stir until lightly sautéed, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove it and set it aside.
4. In the same pan on the same heat, add the chickpeas, coat them in the oil, and stir every 1 to 2 minutes so they sauté evenly.
5. Mix the sweet smoked paprika, hot smoked paprika, cumin and oregano in a bowl.
6. After 8 to 10 minutes, when the chickpeas are lightly blistered, return the garlic to the pan with the spice mix and season with salt and pepper. Stir well.
7. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese, chives and lemon juice.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature, straight from the pan or in a serving dish.
