Moldovan Chickpea Pudding
This dish was described to me by a user at recipezaar, and after much thorough searching and being unable to find anything resembling it, i decided to go ahead and make it on my own. she said, “my grandmother, from near kishinev (now moldova), occasionally made a sweet mashed garbanzo dish when i was very young… it was mildly sweet and could have had a small amount of cinnamon. The texture was like refried beans. There were no eggs, and it wasn't a dessert. It could actually have been for breakfast.” the below is how i made it, and it’s absolutely delicious! i’ve tried it both cold and warm, and it’s excellent both ways. it would make a great breakfast, or a nice snack. give it a try!!
Steps
Place all ingredients in a food processor and whir until preferred texture is achieved , occasionally scraping down the sides.
Eat and enjoy !.
Perhaps it was from using cold garbanzos from the fridge , or perhaps i simply could have processed it longer.
In any case , i enjoyed it at the texture which was not completely smooth.
Using a food mill would probably enable a smoother texture.
Great idea ! :).
Ingredients
