Instructions
- drain and rinse the garbanzo beans and place in a sauce pan
- cover with water and bring up to a rapid boil
- allow to boil until half of the water has boiled off
- pour both the beans and the water into the food processor and process for 2 minutes
- chop the garlic and then sprinkle with the salt
- using your knife's blade grind the garlic into a paste
- add the paste and salt into the food processor along with the tahini and process again for 2 minutes
