Tips & Notes

Stumped on the tahini? The ingredient is a Middle Eastern paste made from ground sesame seeds. Find it in your local ethnic grocery store.

 
 

Instructions

  1. In a food processor or blender, puree chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, yogurt and oil until smooth, adding water as needed to make a creamy mixture. Transfer puree to a medium bowl.
