Here’s another great dip, appetizer and or sandwich bread you can add to your repertoire. It’s quick and easy to make with either your food processor or by hand using a fork or potato masher.
Ingredients:
- 1 15oz can organic garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained or 2 cups soaked garbanzo beans, drained
- 2-4 tbsp roasted tahini paste (start with 2 tablespoons add more to taste)
- 4-6 cloves garlic, peeled (start with 2 cloves add more to personal taste – we like lots of garlic)
- 1/4 c lemon juice (start with 2 tablespoons, add more to taste, we love lemon juice), from one whole lemon
- kosher salt to taste
Method:
Pour drained beans into bowl of food processor, add tahini paste and garlic cloves. Pulse to create a course meal, add lemon juice and salt if desired.
If you don’t have a food processor you can mash the beans with a fork or potatoe masher, until it reaches the texture you desire.
Variations: Add roasted garlic for a sweet deep mellow flavor, or add roasted sweet peppers for another dip or spread.
