Notes
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
- Reserve your chickpea liquid – Also called aquafaba, it’s the key to adjusting the consistency without watering down the flavour.
- Blend well – Don’t be afraid to give it an extra few seconds of blending time for maximum creaminess.
- Use good quality tahini – Hulled tahini gives the smoothest, creamiest finish.
- Taste and adjust – Feel free to tweak the lemon or salt to suit your taste.
- Serving suggestion – Serve with veggie sticks, pita bread, crackers or use as a sandwich spread.
- Storage – Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freezing – Freeze in small airtight containers for up to 4 months. Thaw in the fridge and give it a quick stir before serving.
- Lunchbox tip – Pack in a small airtight container with an ice brick to keep it fresh.
