I have never tried it with canned chick peas, but I think it would be fine. You will need to adjust the amounts of the ingredients because 1 lb of dried peas makes much more than 1 lb of cooked peas, so if using a 1 lb can, use much less tahini, etc. I got a great suggestion from Gareth the Chilenight to use half of the tahini and add onion (tahini is very high fat, and the onion replaces the moisture lost by reducing it). I haven't tried it yet, but it does sound good. Feel free to experiment, and let us know how it turns out! -- Buffalo Sue "Mild is a four-letter word..."
