Directions

Put eggs into a medium pot, cover by 1 inch with water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Cover and set aside off heat for 12 minutes.

Transfer eggs to a large bowl of ice water and set aside until chilled, about 5 minutes.

Drain well, peel and halve eggs.

Transfer whites to a platter and yolks to a large bowl.

Add 1/2 cup garbanzo beans, onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt and 2 tablespoons warm water to yolks and mash with a fork until well combined.

Spoon some of the yolk mixture into each egg-white half, garnish each with parsley and a chickpea, and serve.
