Equipment

Ingredients

1 can organic chickpeas 15 oz
½ teaspoon salt to taste
½ lemon juiced and to taste
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon cold water
¼ cup tahini
1 clove garlic minced

Instructions

Rinse and drain a can of organic chickpeas. Gently squeeze each chickpea one by one and remove the skin. The skin will pop right off. Alternatively I have been told if you add them to a bowl with water, and rub them gently for about 2 minutes, the skin will all come off and float to the top.
Once the skin is removed from all of the chickpeas, add them to a food processor with the rest of the ingredients. Process on high speed until silky smooth for about a minute.
Feel free to add a touch more water based on the consistency you like.
Enjoy right away or refrigerate.
