Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients
  

  • 410g cooked or tinned chickpeas (keep some of the water)
  • 30 ml olive oil
  • Garlic powder (use sparingly)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Drain water from the cooked or tinned chickpeas (keep some aside).
  • Transfer the chickpeas into a blender.
  • Add olive oil, garlic, and salt.
  • Blend at high speed. You may find it difficult to achieve a smooth texture due to almost no liquid in the blender. Keep adding a little of the chickpea water until you achieve your desired smoothness.
  • If using as a dip, transfer to bowl and garnish with paprika, or parsley (if desired), or even add your favorite topping like cherry tomatoes (optional).
  • Serve with pita bread, or use as a spread.
