  cups Drained and rinsed canned chickpeas

  Medium Shallot

  bunch Chopped Basil and Parsley- 1 tbsp dried each works too

  tablespoon Garlic Powder
  
• 1
  
  teaspoon Cumin

1. Add the olive oil to a frying pan and heat to medium-low on the stove. While the oil is heating, dice the shallot into small pieces (pea-sized).
