Equipment
Ingredients
- 15 oz chickpeas canned
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- 4 Tablespoons tahini
- 2-3 Tablespoons lemon juice or juice from one lemon
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil extra virgin
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- ¼-1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1-4 Tablespoons ice water
Instructions
- Place chickpeas and garlic in the bowl of food processor. Process until smooth and powdery. This took quite a while in my food processor, about 4-6 minutes. Add tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin and salt. Process for about 5 minutes. If the mixture is too thick, start adding water 1 Tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Notes
- I usually only need to add about 1-2 Tablespoons water for the right consistency. Sometimes it can take more water though.
- If you'd like to make this as more of a sauce or a dressing, just add more water until the desired consistency is reached.
- Feel free to add whatever spices desired! I love to top ours with a dash of sumac and a drizzle of olive oil. Try topping yours with roasted red bell peppers, jalapenos, roasted garlic and more.
