Recipe from Greg Potter, Veg Action committee member

SERVINGS: 4-6 PREPPING TIME: 15 MIN + 8 HOURS SOAKING TIME

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup dried chick peas

• 3 cups water

• 1/3 cup tahini

• ½ cup lemon juice

• 2 or more cloves

• crushed garlic

• salt

DIRECTIONS

1. Wash chick peas well, cover with water and soak overnight.

2. Boil then simmer chick peas until tender in water used for soaking- you may need to add more.

3. For best results, remove the skins from the chick peas- a tedious task! Most will float on the surface of the simmering water.

4. Use a food processor to blend the chick peas, then add the other ingredients and continue blending until thick and smooth. Hold back some lemon juice and salt to adjust to taste.
