  • 🧄 3 cloves garlic
  • 🌱 0.5 cup (128 g) tahini
  • 🌶 3 whole chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 🍊 2.5 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 🧂 0.75 tsp sea salt

📝 Instructions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the undrained chickpeas (NOT drained) and smashed garlic (2 to 4 cloves). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 2

NOTE: Reserve ½ of the chickpea liquid (aquafaba) to add in as needed while blending.

Step 3

Add the other ½ of the chickpea liquid and the simmered chickpeas and garlic to a food processor (or blender) and process with tahini, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (2 to 4 peppers), fresh lemon juice (2 to 3 Tbsp), and sea salt (0.5 to 1 tsp). Stream in extra virgin olive oil (1 to 2 Tbsp) while mixing.

Step 4

Process until smooth and creamy, scraping down sides as needed. Add more of the reserved chickpea liquid as needed for a creamier texture.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasonings as you prefer, adding more lemon juice for brightness or more chipotle peppers for smokiness and spice.

Step 6

Garnish with a little more olive oil and smoked paprika, and serve.
