Ingredients

3 large cloves of garlic

1 teaspoon coarse salt

3/4 cup

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/3 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice

2 cups

1/8 teaspoon chile powder

6 tablespoons of chickpea liquid

Directions

1. In a blender or food processor, whiz together the garlic, salt, tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice until the garlic is finely-chopped. 2. Add the chick peas, chile powder, and 6 tablespoons of chick pea liquid, and pulse until smooth. Stop the machine a couple of times during blending to scrape down the sides to make sure everything gets well-incorporated. 3. Taste, and add more lemon juice or salt if desired, and more of the chick pea liquid until it reaches a thick, but spreadable consistency. You can make it as smooth, or as coarse, as you want. I like mine mid-way between the two.
