Ingredients
1 ½ cups (250 grams) cooked chickpeas (soaked overnight)
1 large lemon
1/4 cup tahini/ sesame seeds
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt to taste
Directions
- In a food processor or mixer-grinder-blender take the roasted sesame seeds. Powder it to fine or semi-fine texture.
- Add 1 teaspoon chopped garlic, 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin powder and salt as per taste. Grind or blend to a fine or semi-fine consistency.
- Next add the cooked chickpeas.
- Grind or blend till smooth and light. If you are unable to grind, then add 2 to 3 tablespoons water. I prefer adding oilive oil instead of water to make it creamier.
