Ingredients

  • cups chickpeas cooked (or 2 15-ounce cans)
  • 0.5 tsp cumin 
  • cloves garlic 
  • 0.5  juice of lemon 
  • servings turtle beans (or water)
  • 10 ounce roasted peppers red
  • servings salt to taste
  • tablespoons tahini (omit if cutting fat)
  • servings hot sauce hot to taste

Equipment

    Directions

    1. Add the chickpeas and begin processing.
    2. Add the lemon juice and tahini. (I used half of a very large yet mild homegrown lemon. For regular lemons, I’d start with half, check the flavor, and add more if needed.) If needed, add 1/4 cup bean cooking liquid or water, just enough so that the chickpeas become a smooth paste.
    3. Add the cumin, the harrisa, chipotle powder, salt, and half of the roasted red peppers. Process until smooth. Taste for spiciness and add more harrisa as needed.
    4. Add the remaining roasted red peppers and pulse to coarsely chop. Enjoy as a dip or sandwich filling!
