• 1 can or 400 gm (14 oz) chickpeas.
• 3 Tblsp aquafaba (see note).
• 2 Tblsp tahini.
• 1/4 cup lemon juice.
• 1 plump garlic clove crushed.

• Pinch of salt.

Method:

1. Drain the chickpeas and retain the aquafaba.
2. Place all ingredients into a food processor.
3. Blend, stopping to scrape down.
4. Add more aquafaba until desired consistency is reached.
5. Store covered in refrigerator.
6. Serve with favourite crackers or with Tasty Tortilla Chips.
