Print Recipe
Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 15 oz cans chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1/3 cup tahini make sure the tahini is stirred well before you measure it
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 5 tbsp water or more, depending on your preferred texture

Method
 

  1. In a blender, add all of the ingredients. Blend until very smooth, stopping every so often to scrape down the sides of the blender so everything gets incorporated. You can add more or less water depending on your desired texture.
  2. Transfer to a serving plate (or store in an air tight container in the fridge). Add toppings if desired (see tip above) and serve with veggies and warm pita.
