Step 1

Begin by removing the casings from garbanzo beans. Pour the garbanzo beans into a bowl and use a dish towel or a paper towel and rub the garbanzo beans with the towel. The casings will begin to fall off the beans. Repeat this step until most of the casings fall off. Not all the casings will fall off. Remove the casings from the bowl.

Step 2

Use a wooden spoon, potato masher, or fork to mash the majority of the garbanzo beans (it’s okay if there are some whole ones).

Tips and Warnings

  • Removing the casings from the garbanzo beans helps to add moisture to the garbanzo beans and to keep the casings from getting caught in your throat. 
  • Be sure to really mash half the beans, it will elevate this recipe. 
  • We prefer using mostly Greek yogurt but feel free to use more mayo if you’d like.
