You need this for my grilled vegetable halloumi sandwich and crispy chickpea shawarma wraps. Use leftovers for snacking. Think vegetable sticks, crackers, pita bread!

Ingredients

  • 400g can chickpeas, drained (reserve liquid)

  • ¼ cup liquid from chickpeas

  • 1 medium garlic clove, finely chopped

  • 60ml (¼ cup) fresh lemon juice

  • 120ml (½ cup) tahini, hulled (mix well before using)

  • 80ml (â…“ cup) extra virgin olive oil

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ¼ tsp cooking salt (see note)

Method

  1. 1. Place everything except the salt and pepper in a food processor. Blitz on high for 30 seconds, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth. Taste then add salt and pepper as needed, and use remaining reserved liquid from the can of chickpeas to loosen to a soft ketchup-like consistency. Keeps for 3 days in the fridge.

    Note: The saltiness of canned chickpeas vary from brand to brand. I always start with less then add to taste.
