Notes
- How to make homemade tahini: First, toast the seeds until fragrant, then blend them in a high-speed blender until smooth. Add a little oil if needed to help them blend.
- Do not throw away the remaining garbanzo beans liquid. This is called aquafaba and is a great vegan egg replacement that you can use in baking.
- Simmer instead of peeling. Instead of peeling the chickpeas, you can just simmer them with baking soda for a few minutes to soften the peels. This is less laborious and will still give you a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Achieve the perfect consistency. Make the necessary adjustment when adding the chickpea water to the mixture until you achieve your desired consistency. In case you added too much, you can add more chickpea mush and tahini to thicken it.
