Servings: 3 cups
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chickpeas or 2 cans drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste)
- 3-4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 2 lemons, juice
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes to taste
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp water, to loosen as needed
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.
- Add a splash more water as needed to loosen the consistency.
- Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. For a more tart flavour, add more lemon juice. For more spice, add more garlic or red chili flakes. For more depth of flavour add more cumin and/or salt. Keep in mind that the flavours will intensify as they have a chance to marry in the fridge.
- Store in an airtight containiner in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Optional: garnish with pinches of the cumin, paprika, and red chili flakes and/or fresh chopped cilantro
