Prep Time 15 minutes
Soak and Cook the Chick Peas 10 hours

Ingredients  

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas about 3/4 cup dry
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup water or 1/4 c. olive oil + 1/4 water

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients other than the water/oil into a quality food processor or blender.
  • Blend, on high, until you have a rough paste.
  • Add water, 1/4 cup at a time, and continue blending, scraping down the sides occasionally if needed. You can add more or less water than suggested, depending on your desired consistency.
  • Serve with veggies, crackers, pita bread, or any other favorites and enjoy!

Notes

To cook dried chickpeas, first soak them over night in cold water. Then, bring the soaked chickpeas to a boil in plenty of water and reduce the heat to a simmer for 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours until tender. Leave the lid of the pot tilted slightly to allow some of the steam to escape.
You may also use canned chickpeas (already cooked), just realize that you’ll pay more per serving.
