Ingredients
- 1 15 -ounce can chickpeas ((NOT drained))
- 2 -4 cloves garlic ((depending on how garlicky you prefer it))
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 -1 tsp sea salt ((depending on how salty you prefer it))
- 1 -2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Steps
-
Microwave undrained chickpeas and whole garlic cloves in a mixing bowl for 4-5 minutes.
-
NOTE: Reserve 1/2 of the chickpea liquid to add in as needed while blending. Add the other 1/2 of the chickpea liquid with the chickpeas and garlic to a blender or food processor and process with lemon juice, salt and tahini. Stream in olive oil while mixing.
-
Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Add more of the reserved chickpea liquid as needed for creamier texture.
-
Taste and adjust seasonings as you prefer. I found 3/4 tsp of salt to be the perfect amount (amount as original recipe is written // refer to the lower end of range if altering batch size).
-
Garnish with a little more olive oil and paprika, and serve with veggies, crackers and pita. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or more. It tastes even better refrigerated, as it has time to thicken up and develop in flavor.
