Ingredients
1.0 cup Chickpeas (garbanzo beans)0.5 tsp Baking Soda1.0 tsp Garlic powder1.5 tsp Salt0.5 cup Lemon Juice4.0 tbsp Tahini
1. Rinse & drain chickpeas.
2. Quick Soak: Bring chickpeas & baking soda to a boil in 7 cups of water, turn off heat, cover, & wait 1 hour. (This nearly eliminates flatulence)
3. Uncover, bring back up to a boil, then reduce heat & simmer until beans are falling apart & mixture is mushy.
4. Add remaining ingredients & stir.
5. Blend in food processor (when cool) or with hand mixer.
6. Garnish with olive oil & paprika, if desired. Enjoy!
**Note** It takes 5 minutes to bring beans to a boil for the quick soak, approximately 30 minutes to cook them, and 5 minutes to add the remaining ingredients & blend. You can skip the hour it takes to quick-soak by either soaking overnight or using approximately 2.5 to 3 cups of canned beans (the cooked bean mixture needs to equal nearly 3.75 cups before adding remaining ingredients).
