Ingredients
- 5 oz fresh spinach leaves
- 1 (14 ounce can) chicpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (juice of half a lemon)
- 2 to 3 garlic cloves
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 to 2 teaspoons ground pepper
- 2 to 3 tablespoons tahini (ground sesame paste), available in the ethnic aisle of most grocery stores
- 2 to 3 tablespoons turkish seasoning is what this calls for, but I use cumin, oregano, sweet paprika, & cilantro in even amounts mixed together to total 2 or 3 teaspoons full. Cayenne can also be added to this mix if desired.
Method
- In a food processor or blender, combine the chicpeas, spinach, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, pepper and turkish seasoning and pulse to combine.
- Add olive oil and continue to pulse until it reaches the consistency you like.
- Serve with vegetables such as carrots or broccoli florets, crackers or pita crisps.
- You can also use it as a sandwich spread and add sliced tomato, cheese and lettuce for a healthy sandwich.
