Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz canned chickpeas
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.

  • Add the minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, ground cumin, and kosher salt to the food processor. Blend for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Add half of the chickpeas to the processor and blend for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides, add the remaining chickpeas, and process until thick and relatively smooth.
