Ingredients




1 tin of cooked chickpeas
1/2 sesame paste- a cup
2 tablespoons lemon juice to taste-
salt
garlic, minced
olive oil

Preparation

1 Drain the chickpeas and put everything into a food processor or use a hand blender and then blend until it is a paste.  Add in everything else and blend again.  When you add in the sesame paste add half in first, taste to see if you want more, then add the rest(some people find it a bit strong) same with the garlic add to your own taste.  I would probably add in 4 cloves. With the olive oil I would probably put in a couple of tablespoons, if the mix looked a bit dry then add in some more. 2 With all of the above dishes you can add olive oil.  Decorate with some sweet or hot paprika, chopped herbs, a few cooked chickpeas and a couple of tablespoons of tahini paste.
