Add tomato and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add garbanzos and seasonings.

Hint: Middle Eastern markets sell a seasoning called sumac powder. It is made from the small red berries of the rhus coriara bush, which grows wild in the Middle East. Sumac has a lemony, astringent taste with a bit of fruitiness. If you are able to find this, it may be used in place of the lemon juice and paprika for a more authentic flavor.
