List of Ingredients




1 16 oz. can chickpeas, drained
1/4 cup raw sesame paste (tahini)
hot water--1/8 cup or more, as needed
1 small clove garlic, minced
juice of 1/2 a fresh lemon
dash salt
1/4 teaspoon cumin
fresh parsley
olive oil
fresh vegetables, pita bread wedges



Recipe



In blender or food processor, crush chick peas until mashed with small chunks.

In a bowl, combine sesame paste and a small amount of hot water. As you mix, it will be difficult at first, and then will emulsify into a smooth creamy paste. Add lemon juice, garlic, and spices. Add more hot water and mix well, to achieve the consistency of heavy sour cream. Combine sesame paste mixture with chickpeas. Adjust seasonings. Serve on a flat plate, with olive oil drizzled on top and fresh parsley garnish. Use fresh vegetables and and pita bread for dipping.
