For this food getting the right consistency is tricky even if you know how to do it. You need some water, but not like a soup. To get the right consistency, you must think that the water in the pot in the end is not enough, i.e. the water level is lower than the chickpeas but not too low. You need to fight your urge to add more water there.

@@tormentedsoul7852 Well, you gotta account for the fact that in the end you add the lemons, oil and puree some of the chickpeas. If there's too much water, the consistency will come out watery no matter what you do. You can always thicken with some corn flour if it's too watery, but IMO this ruins the taste of the chickpeas kinda.

I made this last week and it was so delicious! I added a lot of lemon and fresh dill at the end. My husband got mad when he saw me cooking this dish. He said he hates chickpeas and I should have made lentil soup. But when he tried the soup he couldn't believe it. He said it is amazing that I can make something so disgusting taste sooooooo good! He said it was like a nice cooked meal one would eat in a european pub. Thanks Akis! Happy cooking! Cheers!

I lived in Rhodes, Cyprus and Thessaloniki in the 50s and 60s and had this dish made pretty much the same way with very little differences. It's amazing. I love chickpeas and anything with dill and lemon. I learned to make this dish from one of the employees at the embassy in Thessaloniki who taught me how to make other Greek dishes as well.

The only change I made was with vegetable stock in stead of chicken stock. σας ευχαριστώ!

Chickpeas are v. good for you and healthy, i ❤ them whether soup or hummus dips. I found Akis channel searching for Zucchini fritters, and could not believe how much Greek food is such a big influence here in Australia. All these yummy foods Akis makes are in the cafe culture here, and popular because they are so healthy, quick to prepare and make, and popular with families too.

I don't know who's filming this, but you need to show us INSIDE the pot when he's stirring and saying "look at this." Just raise the camera up one foot.

I'm legit not sure if I'm watching the cooking or watching his fine self but all I know is, yes 💖

Chickpeas are supremely nutritious and filling and adapt to many different types of flavouring from different cultures. Most animals, including birds, can have them too which makes them an ideal staple for emergency supplies for people and pets during these uncertain times. Pre-cooked cans and jars are best (in case water is in short supply or if fuel for cooking might be a problem). This recipe is definitely going on my list.

I lived in Spain for four years. Even before then, as a kid, I was introduced to Mediterranean food and developed a real appreciation for chickpeas (garbanzos). In Spain, that appreciation for chickpeas was only increased. This recipe of yours is, without a doubt, going to satisfy the taste buds, be a hearty meal and be healthy, as well. It promises to be a very healthy and satisfying pleasure. Thank you. (I am subscribed, by the way.)

Made this over the weekend and it went so fast, I have to make another batch. Delicious! Used vegan stock to make it vegetarian. Shared this with a bunch of friends.

I just discovered this dish a couple weeks ago and I was absolutely shocked at how delicious 😋 and simple it turned out 😊. The fresh lemon 🍋 just sets it off 🎉

I just finished making and eating this. This was SO DELICIOUS OMG. I could have eaten so much but had to pace myself, haha. So easy and with the easiest ingredients. I had it with some orzo at the side to make it more filling for my weekend lunch as I was so hungry and it was so so delicious. But even without, it is so SO good! By itself it’s really amazing. Especially the dill and the slices of lemon...once you squeeze more as you’re eating only adds this amazing acidic thing to cut through and brings life to every bite. And it’s so creamy without the use of dairy?! And I love me some dairy! Haha. Can’t wait to make this again, and again, and again! Anyway, thanks for this wonderful recipe! Especially during my 4th or 5th week in lockdown, this meal cheered me up and it was so easy and fun making it ☺️

I love this accent. I miss my Greek friends.

Great recipe. Akis and other chefs who associate with him, (won’t name out of respect for Akis’s channel, but you know who they are.) are the best chefs. Something has happened to food over the past decade. Food has become garbage. Everything is over-cooked, seasoned the same and covered with some crappy sauce that makes it all taste the same. Akis and chefs like him take food back to what it should be. He lets the ingredients speak for themselves rather than covering them all with some overtly-potent bull-crap sauce. And i love the use of raw ingredients in some of his reciped. Why the hell do Americans need to grill and fry every single thing in their meal, cook it twice over and cover it in some mayonnaise-based sauce? It gross. People like Akis need to keep this real food alive! I am dark-skinned person who practices Levantine cuisine. Akis’ use of ingredients and his method of preparing and cooking the food is simply proper! Like Akis’ said, “This food is simply the best food!” I suggest Americans try it. Quit cooking everything three-times over and coating it with salt, mayonnaise and sauce. This is real food, where the natural flavor of ingredients and seasoning is brought to fruition. Akis is great chef!
