Ingredients

  • 1 can (540mL) chickpeas, drained
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil plus extra to drizzle
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water or more, to thin
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Add all of the ingredients into the container of a blender or mini food processor. Pulse until the mixture is nice and smooth, stirring in between if needed (use your tamper if you have one for your blender). Add additional water to thin to the desired consistency if needed and season to taste with salt if desired - blend again until smooth.

  2. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and a handful of fresh parsley if desired. Makes a great dip for vegetables, pita or your favourite crackers.
