Garbanzo Spread

By vdub

Ingredients

• 1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
• 1/2 cup roasted red peppers
• 3 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed butter)
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Preparation

Step 1

Drain the garbanzo beans, reserving the liquid, and place them in a food processor or blender with the remaining ingredients. Process until very smooth. If using a blender, occasionally stop to push down the bean mixtures with a rubber spatula. The mixture should be quite thick, but if blending is difficult, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved bean liquid.

Serve on crackers or bread, in casseroles, or as a delicious filling for quesadillas.
