400g can chick peas - drained

Couple of garlic cloves, crushed. Or more
Lemon juice ... approx 1 whole lemon or to taste
A swirl of olive oil

Whizz everything in a blender. Turn into a serving dish and sprinkle with paprika

You can add caramelized onion,roasted red peppers, sundried tomatoes etc

Mmmmmm!
One if my favorites!

I found a recipe for a Healthier version. Yum! Going to post it soon!

This is what my after-work-before-dinner snack was today... except I had no stiff veggies, or pita, or corn chips to use for dipping -- so I used a spoon!

LMAO .. .well I think a spoon is ok. I mean, it's low calorie and low fat!!

I love it with roasted red pepper, but everytime I've tried to make it it is not as good as store-bought. This looks different and I will try it tonight.

I make the recipe as it is ... then add more tahini, lemon juice and olive oil if I want to until it's just right!!
