Use the freshest lemon juice for the best possible flavor. To peel the chickpeas, pinch them between your fingers until the flesh pops out of the skin. It goes faster than you might think and is worth improved texture.

  • ½ cup tahini paste
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ¼ cup water
