Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 12
• 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed, and papery skins removed
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1 tablespoon tahini paste
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove roasted garlic
• 1 green chili pepper, roasted, seeded, and peeled
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, stems removed
• salt
• pepper

Recipe

• 1 boil garbanzo beans in salted water for 10-12 minutes. drain and place into food processor.
• 2 add remaining ingredients. blend until smooth.
• 3 if it does not become smooth enough for your taste, add additional water, olive oil, or lime juice - depending on the flavor you desire.
• 4 add salt and pepper to taste. pulse to mix through.
• 5 if you like a bit more heat than the green chili gives, add a bit of jalapeno or serrano pepper. whatever you do -- please -- don't add canned diced chilis. the vinegary canned flavor does not go well with the garbanzo beans.
• 6 serve with warm soft pitas or crispy pita chips.
