"Consider this my ode to the humble can of chickpeas. They are inexpensive, packed with protein, fiber and vitamins and can be transformed into ALL the things. In this first edition of Technique Time (presented by American Express®) I'm showing you how to use canned chickpeas to make four different things; creamy hummus, a smashed chickpea salad, rich chocolate mousse and crispy chickpeas. All of these recipes are super simple and can be easily adapted to use what you have available to you at home. So grab a can (or 4!) and learn all the ways you can transform the gifted garbanzo!"
