This recipe is much lower in calories & fat than most because you use the bean liquid to thin it instead of lots of olive oil. I've made recipes with 10 tbsp. of oil before, so this is much better.
A fifth of this recipe is ALOT...really a meal with veggies, or pitas. I usually eat like a 1/4 cup with veggie sticks as a snack.
List of Ingredients
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste)
1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
1 clove garlic. chopped (add as much as you like, but start with this & taste to see if you want to add more)
2 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp. ground cumin
salt & pepper
chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Recipe
Drain the chickpeas into a bowl & reserve bean liquid.
Combine the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, onion, garlic, oil, cumin, salt & pepper in a food processor. Puree until smooth, adding the chickpea liquid to thin then puree (1/4-1/2cup)
Garnish with parsley if you want to make it look pretty!
