Ingredients
  

  • 1 15.5 oz can Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas), drained
  • 1 Tbls Tahini paste
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 1 clove garlic peeled
  • 1 ½ - 2 tsp Wasabi Powder
  • ½ - 1 tsp Ginger Powder
  • 2 Tbls Canola or Safflower Oil
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Soy Sauce to garnish (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a blender, add in your drained Garbanzo Beans, Tahini, start with the juice of 1/2 the Lemon, Garlic clove (you can roughly chop first if needed, I put mine in whole), start with 1 tsp Wasabi Power, start with 1/2 tsp Ginger Powder, Oil and Salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Blend until it's a smooth paste.
  3. Taste and adjust flavor if needed, by adding more Lemon juice, Wasabi Powder and Ginger Powder.
  4. Store with either a thin layer of Oil over top or with plastic wrap touching the surface to form a "skin". Keep refrigerated.
  5. To serve, drizzle a small amount of Soy Sauce over top if desired.

Notes

For this recipe, I used Canola Oil because it is light in flavor and blended with the flavors better. Normally I use Olive Oil in other flavor combinations.
