Total Time: 15 minutes
Serving Size: 1 cup
1 15 oz can chickpeas
2 tbsp olive oil
1 juice of a lemon
1/4 cup tahini
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp paprika (optional)
Optional flavors: 1 clove of garlic, 2 fire-roasted red peppers, jalapeno and cilantro, black beans instead of chickpeas
Drain the chickpeas and place them in a food processor along with all of the ingredients. Pulse the mixture until it’s almost smooth. If the mixture is too dry to completely get smooth add a couple of tablespoons of water, olive oil, or the juice from the chickpea can. Give or take the seasonings to your taste. Drizzle with olive oil or sprinkle with paprika if desired. Use vegetables, pita bread and dip or use it as a condiment or a spread.
