1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

This recipe uses dried garbanzo beans (or chick peas), but you could just as easily use a couple of cans if you like. Just be sure to rinse and drain them to remove some of the sodium of the canned beans and reduce the cooking time. Adapted from a recipe of Melissa Clark, NY Times Food Editor.
