How do you make this middle eastern treat anyway? I know it requires chickpeas, olive oil, garlic and tahini (sp?) and possibly some lemon juice, but in what proportions? Right now I’m buying it at the deli in a little 200 gram tub that costs about $3.50. I’m pretty sure that it can be made at home for a lot cheaper.
Any recipe suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
1 can of chick peas
6 tablespoons of tahini
7 cloves of garlic
1 cup of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of salt
blend together garlic, half of the chickpeas, half cup of water and half cup of lemon juice. puree the ingred. stir frequently. add the rest of the chick peas and lemon juice. blend until smooth. pour into a bowl and add the tahini and mix well. refrig overnight.
i hope that helps.
Excellent! Thanks!
