I added the drained chickpeas to the dressing mixture. I also only made 1/3 of this recipe and put in three separate little molds.

i agree some things left to your own vices , like draining the chick peas, and how could dry be the same as canned ?
This recipe is not very clear, do you add the dressing in with the chickpea mixture??
I saw your show last night with this recipe, and love the look of it. I will be making it on thursay night for a small dinner party.
thanks
