I needed to make a healthy recipe for my sports nutrition class that was a good "post exercise" snack. Well, this dip plus pita slices would be perfect, but outside of that it's good just about anytime! I took out olive oil (which the original recipe called for) and added some cumin. Very tasty!
Tahini 2 Tbsp
Garbanzo Beans 2 C (drained)
Lemon Juice 1/4 C
Garlic 3 cloves
Parsley 1 tsp minced
Paprika Pinch
Cumin Pinch
Red Pepper Flakes Pinch
White Pita 4 small
White Pita 4 small
Place the garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt and garlic, cumin and red pepper flakes in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl.
Sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
Scoop ¼ cup into pita half and serve
