Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chickpeas

    If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them under cold water. If using cooked chickpeas, ensure they are tender and ready for blending.

    In a food processor, add the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and water.
