Bagels Topped with Some Avocado Smashed Chickpeas
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 ripe avocado, pit removed
- 1 lemon
- 2 spring onion, minced
- 1 tablespoon cappers or minced green olives
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Add chickpeas, avocado and capers to a bowl and mash either using a fork or potato masher until a mash begins to form
I leave some pieces of chickpeas as is for texture
Grate some zest from the lemon into the mash, then cut lemon in half and juice the lemon over top
Add in spring onions, garlic powder and stir to combine
Adjust flavor by adding some salt and pepper to taste
Take mixture and spread over your base of choice
I did the bagel and topped it off with some sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, red pepper flakes and everything but the bagel seasoning
I also really liked a little basil in this too when I had it again today, so feel free to add in if you have it on hand or any other toppings for your own preference
For the mushrooms, place sliced mushrooms in a pan with a pinch of salt and allow water to cook off
Add a splash of soy sauce and a pinch of smoked paprika and garlic powder
Add a splash of vegetable broth to deglaze the pan and a touch of maple syrup
Cook until liquid is fully absorbed then top toast with it
