Ingredients




12 ounces cooked chickpeas drained
cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
teaspoon salt
teaspoon ground cumin
teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons Tahina

Preparation

1 In food processor or blender, combine chickpeas, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, cumin and allspice with 1 tablespoon water. Puree until smooth. 2 Serving Ideas : Serve with warm pitas,bread or next to any grilled chicken dish 3 NOTES : The first ingredient is actually 12 ounces cooked chick-peas measured after the extra liquid is drained.. I would probably just use a 19-ounce/540 mL can of chickpeas and rinse and drain the contents. 4 I don't think I have made this recipe yet. The contents suggest a spread with some similarity to hummus, but with less fat and none of that lovely sesame seed taste.
