1 In a small saucepan, combine the shallots, rosemary, and the 2 tablespoons of oil over mediumlow heat. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the shallots are tender.
2 Add the chickpeas, water, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook 3 to 4 minutes more or until heated through, stirring frequently and coarsely mashing the chickpeas with the back of a spoon. Add a little more water if the mixture seems dry. Stir in the vinegar and taste for seasoning.
3 Place a barbecue grill or broiler rack about 5 inches away from the heat source. Preheat the grill or broiler. Toast the bread on one side until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the bread and toast the other side, about 2 minutes.
4 Spread with the chickpea mixture. Drizzle with additional oil and serve immediately.
