Ingredients:

  • 2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas
  • 1/3 cup tahini (100% sesame paste not canned sauce)
  • 2 tbsp ground cumin
  • 3 -4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup dried spinach (optional)
  • paprika (optional)

Directions:

  1. Drain chickpeas.
  2. Place chickpeas, tahini, cumin, salt, lemon juice, garlic, hot sauce, and olive oil into food processor.
  3. Process, adding water and lemon juice as needed, the amount may vary. Keep them even in ratio. Personally I like the lemon flavor so do that stronger. The consistency should be a smooth dip or thin mash potatoes.
  4. When throughly mixed and at desired consistency add spinach flakes and pulse till blended.
  5. You can serve on a plate with a dip in the center and spiced olive oil poured over it or plain olive oil and sprinkled with paprika. Serve in a pita with olives, feta cheese, falafel, and cucumbers or just on crackers or Matzah.
