Ingredients
1 15 oz. can chickpeas, drained & rinsed (about 2 cups boiled)
6 T. tahini
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
6 T. fresh lemon juice
¼ c. minced jalapeno pepper
3 T. plain yogurt
¼ c. red bell pepper, seeded/diced
2 T. olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp. ground cumin
Cayenne pepper for garnish
4 cloves crushed garlic (about 2 tsp.)
Directions
In a food processor or blender puree chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, yogurt and oil until smooth, adding water as needed, a little at a time, to make a creamy mixture. Transfer the puree to a medium bowl. Add garlic, cumin, cayenne, jalapeno and bell pepper and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill 2 to 4 hours to allow the flavors to blend. Garnish with cayenne pepper just before serving.
