Author Notes
This is my Tayta's (Grandmother in Arabic) recipe which follows the rule of 1 - 1 of everything - which makes this very simple to make —TXDjinn
Ingredients
-
1
Can of chickpeas, drained
-
1
clove of garlic
-
1 teaspoon
salt
-
1 tablespoon
Tahini
-
1 tablespoon
Lemon Juice (bottled is fine)
-
1 tablespoon
Olive Oil
Directions
-
The way this recipe works if for every can of chickpeas you use, you add 1 of the remaining ingredients which is why we call it the rule of 1
-
In a blender or food processor pour in the drained chickpeas and then add the remaining ingredients.
-
Mash together until smooth - you may need to add salt and lemon to taste.
-
This is MUCH better if you make a day ahead and let it sit, coverd in the fridge until you're ready to use it.
-
To serve, sprinkle some paprika or sumac (Lebanese spice that comes from a berry) on top and then drizzle good olive oil.
-
One of the tastiest ways to eat this is with tortilla chips which add salt without having to put extra salt in the mix.
-
Sahtain! Enjoy!
