Ingredients

12 ounces cooked chickpeas drained

cup plain nonfat yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3 cloves garlic

2 teaspoons olive oil

teaspoon salt

teaspoon ground cumin

teaspoon ground allspice

2 tablespoons Tahina

Preparation

In food processor or blender, combine chickpeas, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, cumin and allspice with 1 tablespoon water. Puree until smooth.

Serving Ideas : Serve with warm pitas,bread or next to any grilled chicken dish

NOTES : The first ingredient is actually 12 ounces cooked chick-peas measured after the extra liquid is drained.. I would probably just use a 19-ounce/540 mL can of chickpeas and rinse and drain the contents.

I don't think I have made this recipe yet. The contents suggest a spread with some similarity to hummus, but with less fat and none of that lovely sesame seed taste.
