1 1/2 cup sprouted chickpeas
1 cup soaked almonds*
juice of two lemons or limes (more if desired)
1/2 to 3/4 cup raw tahini*
1/3 bunch cilantro
3 or 4 cloves of garlic
1/2 tsp coarse Celtic sea salt
about 1/2 cup of water
drizzle of olive oil
*Raw nuts have become problematic ever since the big salmonella epidemic a few years ago. It is still possible to buy truly raw almonds, but they will cost you an arm and a leg. Most of the time what you will find in bulk bins are "pasteurized raw," which obviously aren't really raw and won't sprout. It's still recommended to soak them before eating. Raw tahini has only recently come back on the market after many years.
In your blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients except the water and olive oil. Drizzle in water as needed to keep the mixture soft enough to blend, and finish with a splash of good olive oil. Serve garnished with a dusting of paprika and a swirl of olive oil.
