Ingredients
As I list them in the video description.
- 500 g chickpeas
- ½ cup tahini (sesame paste)
- 1 tsp cumin

- 1 tbsp salt
- 3 cloves garlic

How it's made, in short
- Soak the chickpeas overnight in plenty of water with the baking soda.
- Rinse and cook them until very soft, skimming off the foam.
- Drain, let them cool a little and blend until creamy.
- Add the tahini, lemon, salt, cumin and garlic, and mix well.
- Spread on a plate and finish with paprika, cumin, olive oil and a few mint or parsley leaves.
