- 1/2 cup Tahini and some of the oil sesame seed paste
- 2 cups Chickpeas - cooked completely or the lowest sodium possible canned . Reserve some of the liquid Garbanzo Beans, if starting from dry, rinsed well
- 1/4 cup Olive oil
- 1 Tbsp Cumin
- 4 Cloves of garlic less if you aren't a garlic fan
- Juice of 1 and a half lemon more to taste if desired
- 1 tsp fresh ground pepper (black white, or pink peppercorns)
Put everything (except the chickpea water yet) in a food processor
Add the water while pureeing to ensure a smooth spread
Taste and adjust the seasoning as you go
I serve it up drizzled with a bit more oil and a sprinkle more of cumin on top
It should save up to a week in the fridge in a sealed container
