Ingredients
 
 

  • 240 g chickpeas - (I use tinned but you could use dried and soaked ones)
  • 2 cloves garlic - finely chopped
  • 100 g tahini paste
  • 1 lemon - juice only
  • 2 drops lemon essential oil - I use doTerra's. If you don't have this add the juice of another lemon
  • reserved chickpea water
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the chickpeas, garlic, tahini paste and lemon juice into a small food processor and blend with a little of the reserved chickpea water
  • Stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor and add more chickpea water to reach the desired consistency
  • Remove from the food processor into a bowl and stir through the lemon essential oil
  • Add salt and pepper to taste
