Sweet potato, chickpea and cauliflower mash

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 1 small sweet potato
• 8 small cauliflower florets

Directions:

• If cooking your own chickpeas, soak them overnight in cold water.  Drain and rinse them in fresh water.  Place them in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour until the chickpeas are soft.  If using canned chickpeas, drain them well.  Puree with a little water as needed.
• Meanwhile, steam the sweet potato and cauliflower for about 15 minutes until tender.
• Mash the vegetables and mix in with the pureed chickpeas.
