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
- 2 cans garbanzo beans , 15 ounce
- 0.5 cups roasted tahini
- 0.25 cups lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest , minced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cups packed flat leaf parsley
- 0.25 cups chopped green onions
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions

Place garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, and green onion in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth, adding water if the mixture is too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
