Ingredients
Ingredients
4 15oz cans organic chickpeas/garbanzo beans
(to boil with the chickpeas)
- 2 to 3 tsp seasoning salt
- 1 to 2 tbs red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 to 2 tbs onion powder
1 cup of your favorite organic tahini
1 cup of lemon juice
4-6 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 cup of almond milk
1 tsp salt (or more to taste*)
1 tsp ground cumin
paprika and/or parsley for serving*
HOW TO MAKE:
Filling:
First:
Add all the chickpeas to the cooking container with aquafaba (juice in the can)
- note we will boil/cook them in this juice.
Second:
Add seasoning salt, turmeric, red wine vinegar and onion powder to container to boil with the chickpeas.
Once they begin to boil set timer for 15min and watch.
Third:
Put the remainder of the ingredients into blender and give an initial run of the processor.
Fourth:
Once the 15min boiling is finished assess whether the chickpeas are getting really soft. I find the best way to do that is that they are done once the juice in the container the aquafaba is starting to thicken and reduce a bit. Then they are ready.
Finally:
Using a slotted spoon so that you save the juice from the container put the chickpeas into the blender adding and run it twice full through and then check for creaminess and consistency.
- remember - it will stiffen up as it cools so you want it to be a little bit more creamy than normal bc it's hot right now.
- to add creamy texture - add 1 to 2 tbs at a time of the reduced aquafaba to the blender
*add aquafaba and run blender as many times as needed to get the desired consistency being careful not to do too much at once and make it runny.
*I like to add crushed red pepper for a bit of added flavor
*You may like to add salt/pepper to taste as desired as well
