INGREDIENTS
400g of chickpeas
½ cup of chopped fresh mint
3 tbsp tahini
1 lime
½ cup of water
4 cloves of garlic
METHOD
- Dice the garlic – if you love garlic as much as me feel free to add additional cloves
- Chop up the fresh mint, this does not have to be done finely as the blender will also chop it up
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas
- Pour the ½ cup of water into the blender, add half the chickpeas, all of the tahini, garlic and mint then squeeze all the juice of the lime into it
- Start blending on a low setting until the mixture gets going, you may have to stop the blender to scrap down the sides and stir up the ingredients
- Continue to blend until the mixture is smooth, add in the remaining chickpeas
- Blend until all the mixture is combined
