Instructions

In a small sauce pan or skillet, sauté the garlic in olive oil for 1-2 minutes, stirring often. Then add the cumin and sauté for another minute to bring out the flavors of the cumin.
Add the drained can of chickpeas to the garlic oil along with the red pepper flakes, lemon juice, salt & pepper. Sauté for a couple minutes to let the flavors come together, taste for needed salt & pepper, then toss in the fresh parsley. If you have some, sprinkle the sumac over the beans when serving. Enjoy!
