| 3 cups cooked chickpeas, peeled (from 1 to 1 1/4 cup dry chickpeas or from quality canned chickpeas. See recipe notes for more instructions on cooking and peeling chickpeas) | |
| 1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced | |
| 3 to 4 ice cubes | |
| 1/3 cup (79 grams) tahini paste | |
| ½ tsp kosher salt | |
| Juice of 1 lemon | |
| Hot water (if needed) | |
| Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil | |
| Sumac |
Steps:
| Add chickpeas and minced garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Puree until a smooth, powder-like mixture forms. | |
| While processor is running, add ice cubes, tahini, salt, and lemon juice. Blend for about 4 minutes or so. Check, and if the consistency is too thick still, run processor and slowly add a little hot water. Blend until you reach desired silky smooth consistency. | |
| Spread in a serving bowl and add a generous drizzle of Early Harvest EVOO. Add a few chickpeas to the middle, if you like. Sprinkle sumac on top. Enjoy with warm pita wedges and your favorite veggies. |
