Ingredients
1
(15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed, drained, and dried
1/2 cup
heavy cream
4 ounces
cheddar, grated (preferably a younger, not super-aged variety)
Instructions
- Separate out 1/4 cup of chickpeas and roughly chop. Heat a glug of oil in a skillet over medium heat and, when hot, add the chopped chickpeas, plus a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir so all the beans are coated, then leave them alone and let them crisp for about 5 minutes, until frizzled and browned.
- Add the cream to a pot over medium heat and cook until it begins to simmer. Drop the heat to low and add the cheese, stirring until a smooth sauce forms. Mix in the larger portion of chickpeas and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide into 2 bowls and evenly top with the chickpea crispies.
