Ingredients

  • 16 oz chick peas
  • 2 tbsps tahini
  • 2 lemons yield lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 dash salt

Directions

  • Crush garlic in a mortar and pestle with the dash of salt. (Best alternate would be a garlic press but in case you do not have either mincing would work also).
  • Pour out juice from can of chick peas (garbanzo beans) into a container to use later.
  • Squeeze two lemons and store in separate container.
  • Combine chick peas, half of the chick pea juices, half of the lemon juice, the garlic and the tahini (sesame butter) in a food processor.
  • Blend. Add more tahini, lemon, or chick pea juices to desired taste and consistency. Sometimes it takes a little juggling :)
  • Note: a serving is approximately 2 tablespoons.
