Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas (about 9 oz or 250 g weight when drained)
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon dried cumin
  • 1 tsp dried sweet paprika
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 ice cubes
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For garnish

  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp pine nuts

Instructions

  • If using canned chickpeas place them in a pot of water and bring to boil for 10 minutes. If using dry chickpeas soak them overnight and boil them for 2 hours the next day.
  • Drain the chickpeas, wash out with cold water and rub them with your hands so the skin comes of easily. Peel the skin.
  • Place in a food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Once smooth add all the rest of ingredients (except the ice cubes) until everything is mixed.
  • Add the ice cubes and mix until you reach your desired creamy consistency. If you need to, keep adding more ice cubes.
  • Garnish with olive oil, parsely, and pine nuts and serve with warm pitta bread.

Notes

Storage: up to 3 days in the fridge; can be frozen up to 3 months.
