This is a very basic recipe for the popular garbanzo and sesame seed pate. Vary the flavor by adding a few mint leaves, a little fresh ginger, or red pepper flakes. I make it in a food processor now, but I used to make it by putting the garbanzo beans through a ricer.
Ingredients
- garbanzo beans: 2 cans (15 ounce cans, drained)
- roasted tahini: 0.5 cup
- lemon juice: 0.25 cup
- lemon zest: 1 tsp (minced, grated)
- garlic: 2 clove
- packed flat leaf parsley: 0.25 cup
- green onions: 0.25 cup (chopped)
- salt: (to taste)
- ground black pepper: (to taste)
