SOUP & SALAD

Method

SOUP & SALAD

  1. 1

    Prep and gather

    If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse well. Reserve 1–2 tablespoons of the chickpea liquid (aquafaba) if you plan to adjust texture, but this is optional.

  2. 2

    In a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice. Process for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is thick and pale.

  3. 3

    Add garlic, ground cumin, and salt. Pulse until the garlic is finely minced and the spices are evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Add the chickpeas to the processor along with ¼ cup water. Process until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.

  5. 5

    With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil to emulsify the mixture and create a silky texture.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if desired. If too thick, blend in a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time.

  7. 7

    Spoon into a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with pita, vegetables, or crackers.
