Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Blend the chick peas, water and lemon juice in a blender or food processor *I cook my own chick peas, but feel free to use the canned stuff if you are pressed for time. Just be sure to rinse them off first!
  2. Add tahini and minced garlic
  3. On low heat sweat sliced poblano and cayenne pepper in the olive oil. Take a pinch out of your salt measurement and add it to the peppers. If you're afraid of spice, you can discard the seeds before the sweat.
  4. Put the remaining salt in the blender
  5. Pour the oil and pepper mixture into the blender. Blend until satisfied, transfer mix to a bowl, and refrigerate for at least an hour. The more you wait, the more the flavors will settle into the mix and calm the spiciness
  6. Yummy!
  7. A small rubber spatula is very helpful when using a blender. You can scrape the sides and make sure the whole dip gets evenly creamy.
  8. Feel free to use more or less of any ingredient. Experiment with whatever suits your tastes. You can try replacing the peppers with chives or cilantro.
