If using dried chickpeas, this recipe will take a little longer, but it's worth it! You can shorten the time by using canned.

Ingredients
- ¾ cup chickpeas dried, (or 2 cups canned and rinsed)
- water
- 1/3 cup juices (that is left after boiling dried chickpeas)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice to taste
- 3 tablespoons Tahini (ground sesame seeds – usually found near the peanut butter in the grocery store)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon salt or more if preferred
Instructions
- If using dried chickpeas pick over and rinse them. Put them in a Tupperware container or bowl with water to cover by 2 inches. Soak them in the fridge overnight. The following day rinse them again and then put them in a small pot with fresh water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 90 minutes. Reserve the cooking liquid/juices.
- If using canned chickpeas rinse them with water.
- In a food processor combine the soft chickpeas, 1/3 cup cooking liquid (or fresh water if using canned chickpeas), lemon juice, tahini, garlic, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth and add more liquid if a thinner sauce is preferred.
- Garnish with paprika if serving as a dip.
Notes
- We recommend organic ingredients when feasible.
