Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 3/4 cup garbanzo bean flour
  • 2-3 large garlic cloves finely minced
  • 1/4 cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup tahini sesame seed paste
  • Juice of one lemon about 1/4 cup
  • 1/8 tsp. Tabasco sauce optional
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin optional
  • 1/2 tsp. dill optional
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • dash of paprika powder for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water to boil. Whisk the garbanzo bean flour into the boiling water (don't worry if it gets a little clumpy). Cook on medium-high heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook another 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Let cool.
  • Transfer the garbanzo bean paste into the bowl of a food processor, pitcher of a blender, or a large bowl if using an immersion blender. Add the garlic, broth, tahini, lemon juice, and tabasco sauce. Blend or purée until smooth.
  • Mix in the cumin, dill, salt, and pepper. Slowly add the olive oil while blending/processing/immersing until it's blended well. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more broth or olive oil.
  • Scrape into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let set for at least an hour, then give it a taste. Add more lemon juice, salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
  • When serving, spoon onto a small plate, drizzle with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika... 'cause that's how they do it at Pita Inn.
