MEDITERRANEAN SMASHED CHICKPEAS
You smash half the chickpeas in this recipe to make a spread, sort of a warm rustic hummus enhanced with garlic cumin and hot pepper, along with a liberal drizzle of olive oil. You can use either freshly cooked dried beans or canned chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans), though freshly cooked is always preferable. Tuck some into a pita for a vegetarian sandwich or serve as a dip to eat with bread and olives; a dollop of minty yogurt and a drizzle of tahini sauce make nice additions.

Steps:
- Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook gently until softened, about 10 minutes. Raise heat to medium-high. Add garlic, cumin, red pepper flakes and celery. Stir to combine let sizzle without browning for 1 minute.
- Add chickpeas and let them heat through. With a potato masher or wooden spoon, crush about half the beans. Stir well, taste and adjust seasoning. Add 1/2 cup water (or bean cooking liquid if you have it) and let mixture simmer briskly for a minute or two. Stir in lemon juice and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Serve warm in pita or as a dip or side dish. Garnish with quartered eggs, accompanied by minted yogurt and tahini sauce, if desired.

- Place the potatoes in a large pot, and add enough cool water to cover them by one inch. Add the teaspoon of salt to the water. Cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook until barely fork tender. Do not overcook the potatoes. Drain and allow potatoes to cool for 3-4 minutes.
- While the potatoes are cooking, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray and preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, and with a fork or potato masher, gently press down on each potato to smash them (about ½ inch thick). Spoon the olive oil mixture over each potato. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, about 20 minutes.
- When done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Add a dollop of Tzatziki sauce, a sprinkle of feta, oregano and a kalamata olive half on top of each potato. Serve immediately.
