- 200g dried chickpeas, soaked in water overnight
- juice of 1 lemon
- 3 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 50g sesame seeds
- 8 pitted green olives
- 1 handful coriander leaves

Instruction
- Drain the chickpeas, put them in a pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours or until soft. Drain
- Put the chickpeas, lemon juice, oil, garlic, sesame seeds and 170ml water in the Vitamix machine, in that order, and secure the 2-part lid. Select variable speed 1. Turn the machine on and slowly increase the speed to 10, then to High. Run for 30 seconds or until smooth, using the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades. Add a little extra water if needed.
- With the machine still running, remove the lid plug and add the olives and coriander and season with salt and pepper. Continue to run for 8 - 10 seconds or until finely chopped and well mixed, then serve.
