- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1 lemon
- 1-2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin powder

Preparation Method
- Wash the chickpeas in a sieve, then simmer in a saucepan for about 20 minutes till soft and mushy.
- While the chickpeas are cooking, put the tahini, freshly squeezed lemon juice and white miso in a blender and blend for about 1-2 minutes to form a smooth paste.
- Add the cumin powder, paprika powder, minced garlic and salt and blend for about 30 seconds.
- When the chickpeas are done cooking, transfer them to a sieve and run briefly under cold water. (Optional: remove the skins from the chickpeas during this step for a smoother paste.)
