Ingredients
4 cups large dried Lebanese garbanzo beans
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 cups sesame tahini, or more as needed
1 teaspoon salt
Garnish: olive oil, paprika and sumac
Serving suggestions: pita bread or carrots
Directions
- In a bowl, soak the dried beans in 6 cups water overnight.
- Discard water and rinse the beans in fresh water. Add beans to a stockpot with 6 more cups water. On high heat, bring water to a boil and cook, turning down the heat to medium when foam appears at the top, about 30 minutes. Cover pot and cook until beans are soft, an additional 15 minutes. Drain and cool beans overnight in the fridge.
- Add beans to a food processer with a handful of ice, the lemon juice, garlic, sesame tahini and salt. Grind in food processor until it has a pudding-type consistency. Garnish with olive oil, paprika and sumac. Can be served with pita bread or carrots.
