List of Ingredients




1 can chickpeas
2 loves garlic
1/3 cup parsley
1 tablespoon tahini (sesame seed paste)
Juice of 1 lemon
4 six-inch whole-wheat pita pockets
Chopped tomatoes, green onions, and lettuce for garnish


Recipe



Drain chickpeas. Reserve liquid. In blender or food processor, chop garlic and parsley. Add chickpeas, tahini, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth, adding more chickpea liquid if spread is too stiff.

Make sandwiches by spooning chickpea spread into pita bread pockets. Garnish with chopped tomatoes, green onions, and lettuce. Use as a dip for vegetables, crackers, and squares of pita.
