Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 15 ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 4 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 clove garlic, or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4-6 tablespoons cold water
  • sprinkle of paprika or sumac
  • chopped fresh parsley, cilantro or dill
  • drizzle of olive oil
  • pine nuts
  • hot sauce

Instruction

  • To a food processor, add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, tahini, garlic, cumin, salt, lemon juice and 4 tablespoons of cold water.
  • Puree for about 4-5 minutes until smooth and creamy. If it's not quite creamy or too thick, add a few more tablespoons of cold water. This will help fluff it up and make it creamy and smooth.
  • Taste and season with additional salt, garlic, cumin or lemon juice if needed.
  • Add to a bowl and garnish with toppings of choice. Serve with pita bread and veggie sticks or spread on toast, sandwiches, mix into pasta or use anywhere else you like. Enjoy!
