Ingredients
  

  • 16oz Chickpeas - Save some of the liquid
  • 2-3 tbsp Tahini
  • 3 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 tsp Cumin
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Chickpea Liquid
  • 1 tbsp Baking Soda
  • Paprika - optional

Instructions

  • Begin by adding 1 tbsp of baking soda and your chickpeas to a bowl. Pop in the microwave for 90 minutes.
  • Fill a large bowl with cold water, and dump in your chickpeas when ready. Begin gently rubbing your chickpeas to remove the skins (2-3 minutes).
  • Use a small strainer to scoop out all your chickpea skins from your water (don't worry if you missed some), then drain your chickpeas and rinse.
  • Add all your ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
  • Finish off with a little more chipolte and enjoy with fresh veggies and pita!

Notes

Removing your skins from your chickpeas isn't essential, but it will make for a smoother consistency!
