Ann, this looks yummy. Would you please modify the ingredient amounts fot a typical 15-oz can of chick peas? Thanks!

Response from Cook for Your Life

Good suggestion! We'd be happy to make some adjustments so it works for standard canned sizes. For now, approximately two 15-oz cans of cooked chickpeas, drained, work for this recipe. It's slightly more than what's in our recipe, so you may need to add a little more water to thin out.
