Ingredients

Scale

15 oz can chickpeas, drained
1/2 cup high-quality tahini
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
3 tbsp ice water
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Place tahini and lemon juice in a food processor.
Process for one minute until the mixture is thick and whipped.
Add ice water one tablespoon at a time while the processor runs until pale and creamy.
Add the drained chickpeas, minced garlic, and sea salt to the emulsion.
Pulse for two full minutes until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
Drizzle the olive oil slowly through the chute while the processor is running to emulsify.

Notes

For an even smoother result, try peeling the chickpea skins before processing. Serve cold or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
