Ingredients
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas2 tbsp fresh lemon juice1/2 C tahini (sesame paste)1/2 C chopped yellow onion (I exclude this)3 cloves garlic, chopped2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil2 tsp ground cumin1/8 tsp ground red pepper1/2 tsp salt1/2 C waterchopped fresh parsley (optional - I mixed in 1 tsp dried and it was nice)
My blender can do one serving easily, but isn't strong enough to do a double batch.
Drain chickpeas, reserving 1/4 to 1/2 C of the liquid. (I just used water and I liked it better)
Combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, onion, garlic, oil, cumin, pepper (dried parsley) and salt in a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth, adding the chickpea liquid (water) if needed to thin the puree (Mine always needs the water).
Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours before serving to blend the flavors. Garnish with fresh parsley if using.
