Ingredients.
1x Can of Organic Chickpeas, keep 1/8 Cup of chickpea water
¼ Cup of Tahini
¼ Cup of Lime Juice
1-2 Small Garlic Cloves, Minced
2- 3 Tablespoons of Hemp Seed Oil
½ Teaspoon of Cumin Powder
½ Teaspoon of Turmeric powder
½ Teaspoon of Cayenne Pepper
¼ Cup of Hemp Seeds.
Directions.
In a blender add all ingredients together on slow – medium speed, you might have to stop every now and then the wipe down the sides and move the mixture around to get a smooth consistency. Don’t add all the chickpea water and oil in at first. I like to judge the consistency, if it is looking dry and not smoothing out ill add bit more water or oil. Same with taste, I will taste it every now and then to see if the flavour is balanced. Taste is personal so you can add either spice or a little bit more acidity with the lime juice.
