Notes
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can I make the garbanzo tapas dish ahead? Yes, you can prepare this a 3-4 days in advance. Be sure to let the beans completely cool before storing in the refrigerator. Reheat the dish in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and stop to stir every 30-45 seconds until hot. I would leave out the chopped parsley and add this fresh when you serve.
- Can I freeze the finished garbanzo beans tapas? Yes, garbanzo beans freeze quite well and this dish can be frozen for up to 2 months for best quality. Thaw it out overnight in the refrigerator and heat in the microwave and I described above. Again, add the chopped parsley fresh before serving.
- How long will the leftover garbanzo tapas last in the refrigerator? Once this dish has completely cooled you can store this in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
