Okay, so we have a huge amount of leftovers from the cocido. Usually you eat the cocido for lunch and start having the leftovers for dinner. Anyway, let’s start with the simplest stuff.

So, what’s that? That’s hummus! We had a ton and a half of chickpeas, and what’s best to do with them? Well, you can refry them and they’re pretty good, but hummus is nicer!

You need:

• Leftover chickpeas from the Cocido.
• Couple of cloves of garlic.
• Olive oil.
• Salt.
• Vinegar or lemon. (I use vinegar! Nice zing).
• Tahini paste (which I skip entirely, but there you go).

So, this is the simplest thing to do with the leftovers, throw all the ingredients into the blender and process until smooth. I’m putting it in a tupperware for the fridge, but you can instead serve straight away with some carrots/celery/crackers. Add some parsley and off you go.

Easy!

Hilariously, considering how it was cooked, this is quite likely the only non-vegetarian recipe for hummus you can find on the net.
