I like to use Eden Organic canned garbanzo beans. They are among only a few companies that does not use BPA in their cans. Trader Joes organic canned beans are also BPA free. |
|
Raw tahini can be found in the refrigerated section of natural food stores usually where items such as sauerkraut and kim Chee are kept. I use the Rejuvenate Foods brand. |
|
2 cans | garbanzo beans, 1 drained and 1 with liquid |
3/4 cup or more | tahini, I prefer raw but an organic roasted is fine |
2 | garlic cloves, peeled (optional) |
1/4 cup | fresh lemon juice |
1/4 cup | extra virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon | ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon | sea salt |
Serve and garnish with any of the following: | |
pine nuts | |
fresh parsely, chopped | |
sweet paprika | |
extra virgin olive oil | |
gltuen free brown rice sesame crackers | |
Mary’s Gone Crackers gluten free seeded crackers | |
Put all of the ingredients in the bowl of a blender or food processor. Blend until they become creamy. With a high powered blender such as the Vitamix, the mixture will be more creamy than with a food processor. | |
Add more salt, lemon juice or tahini to achieve desired taste and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. |
