insert clever quip about ubiquity here
garbonzo beans (1 can)
tahini paste (1/4 cup)
cumin (1/2 tsp)
paprika (1/2 tsp)
salt (1 tsp)
pepper (1 tsp)
lemon juice (2 lemons)
olive oil (1/4 cup)
roasted garlic cloves (4-6)
start by throwing a small handful of salt, olive oil and about 4-6 garlic cloves in a oven proof small container and baking at 350 C for about 25 minutes.
in the mean time combine all ingredients in a food processor, but only put half your can of garbonzo beans (chick peas) into the food processor.
when your garlic is roasted, somewhat cooled (but not cold) toss that into the food processor and then add the rest of the garbonzo beans. mix for a good 5 minutes – longer than you’d think. the roasted garlic takes a while to get fully whazzed in.
i use a lot of lemon juice, and add in a little extra tahini paste typically. finding a good quality tahini, organic garbonzo beans, ripe lemons and good olive oil will improve the taste significantly. i also like to use a strong paprika to give it a reddish speckled colour.
