Ingredients
  • 1 (16 oz.) can chickpeas, drained
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup tahini, stirred well
  • 2 Tbsps. lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsps. olive oil
  • ½ tsp. (1 clove) garlic, minced
  • ¼ tsp. each black pepper, cumin, salt
  • ⅛ tsp. cayenne
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor along with the remaining ingredients. Blend smooth stopping to scrape down the sides.
  2. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with cayenne, paprika, or sumac (optional). Best at room temperature.
Notes
I also add 2-3 Tbsps. of whole milk yogurt if I have it. It adds a nice, creamy texture and flavor.
