Great with wraps, crudités, rice cakes, flat bread and, my favourite, arugula with sumac. Recipe from Marc’s Mum, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Bless her whoever she is.

Ingredients

  • 1 jar of chickpeas/garbanzo beans
  • 1 small clove garlic
  • juice of a medium sized lemon
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 Tbsp Tahini
  • 1 cube of ice
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil

Directions

  • Rinse the beans 2-3 times and drain well.
  • Put in a small pot and cover with water. Cook for 15 minutes on medium heat.
  • Drain and remove all the skins.
  • Place the beans in a food processor while still warm, add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Do not over blend.

To serve top with olive oil and sumac.

Variations: Use lime instead of lemon juice. Add cumin or chilli powder.

Use Lozano chickpeas if you can find them.

Keep in the fridge for 3 days.
