Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chickpeas or 1 16 oz. can chickpeas
5 tablespoons tahini (you should find this in the international aisle at the grocery store or Commissary)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (juice of 1 1/2 to 2 lemons) or in a pinch, use ReaLemon juice (found in juice aisle at Commissary)
2 to 3 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (make sure it's cold pressed)
1/4 cup water or cooking liquid
chopped parsley, for garnish
paprika, for garnish
extra virgin olive oil, for garnish
Directions:
Place chickpeas in a food processor or blender with tahini, lemon juice, garlic and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Add water or cooking liquid from beans a little at a time to get desired constancy. Garnish with chopped parsley, paprika or olive oil, if desired. Stores well refrigerated for at least a week. Makes about 3 cups
This can be served with cut up veggies or whole grain crackers. My favorite is whole wheat pita bread that's been toasted and then torn into bite size pieces! :)
