Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup tahini
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice or one lemon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp pink himalayan salt or celtic salt
  • 1 ½ cup cooked chickpeas (can also use 1 can of chickpeas)
  • 3 - 4 tbsp water or aquafaba (aquafaba is the liquid left after cooking chickpeas)
  • 1 sprinkle paprika

Method
 

  1. Place tahini and lemon juice in a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend for 1 minute to mix till tahini lightens in color. You'll have to scrape the sides to get mixed well.
  2. Add in olive oil, garlic, cumin, and salt. Blend for 1 -2 minutes until all incorporated.
  3. Add in 1/2 of the cooked chickpeas and blend for 1 - 2 minutes
  4. Add in water or aquafaba and the rest of the chickpeas and blend for 2 - 3 minutes until smooth. If the mixture is too thick you can keep adding in some liquid one tablespoon at a time.
  5. Sprinkle on some paprika and a little drizzle of olive oil. Serve with crackers, carrots, or celery sticks.
