Ingredients

240g cooked chickpeas

50g basil leaves

1 small garlic clove, minced

2 tbsp tahini

½ a lemon, juiced

Salt and pepper, to taste 

Ice cold water

 

To garnish:

25g roasted pine nuts

Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

A couple of basil leaves

Method

  1. Place the chickpeas, basil, garlic, tahini and lemon juice in the food processor (you can also do this with a stick blender). Blitz until finely minced. Using a spatula, scrape the sides down.

  2. With the food processor running, gradually add water until you reach a smooth and creamy consistency. 

  3. Scrape the sides and season with some more lemon juice, salt and pepper. 

  4. Garnish with roasted pine nuts, fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. 

  5. Serve with raw carrot sticks, tortilla chips or bread sticks. 

*Also works great as a spread for a Bruschetta with fresh tomatoes on top!
