Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chickpeas
  • ¼ cup tahini
  • ½ tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Turkish hot pepper paste or sambal oelek
  • 4 to 5 ice cubes

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except ice cubes to a high-powered blender. Blend well, scraping the sides down once. This will take 2-3 minutes
  • Add ice cubes one at a time, blending briefly in between. After the last ice cube has been added, scrape the sides of the blender and blend for 4 to 5 minutes until very smooth and creamy.
  • Adjust seasoning and heat to taste.
  • Spoon into a bowl, pushing the spoon around the surface in a circle to make a little valley, and then drizzle with olive oil. You can garnish with olives, tomatoes, and freshly chopped parsley for a pretty presentation, or simply transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge until needed.

Notes

Cook chickpeas from dried for the smoothest texture.
Store refrigerated for about a week.
