This flavorful middle-eastern dip recipe is wonderful with fresh vegetables or crisp crackers. You can find tahini in most supermarkets, in the ethnic foods aisle.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 15 oz. can garbanzo beans (chickpeas) drained, reserving 1/3 cup liquid
- 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 1 clove garlic, minced, or 4 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. white pepper
Preparation:
Mash beans and blend with lemon juice, tahini, garlic and salt. The texture of the finished dip is up to you - make it totally smooth or leave some beans unmashed for more texture. Serve with pita crisps, crisp crackers or French bread slices. This also makes a delicious sandwich spread with smoked turkey or chicken.
