Hi. I usually follow Suzy with the Mediterranean Dish. She also uses ice cubes but she recommends using dried garbanzo beans. And I like allepo pepper. Thank you for sharing your recipes!

In reply to Abe. Hi there! Yes, sometimes that can happen because the texture of the chickpeas themselves can vary. You could also add a little of the aquafaba, or the liquid in the can of beans to help get a nice and smooth consistency.

Hi Yumna,
I appreciate your innovative approach to this timeless arabic food! I followed all your steps and ended up with a bit more granular texture. I ended up needing to add a little bit of water and that helped with easier blending and not taking away from the taste. Have you needed to do that?
Thanks again! I’ve made many of your recipes and gained a lot of perspective. I’m grateful that your site is free to the public

In reply to Carolyn. So happy you enjoyed it! I agree peeling the skins off is so worth it!

I made this yesterday with canned chickpeas. I took my time peeling the outer skins off the peas. I learned about this from my Mexican friend who always peals them. It’s the hardest part of making it, I think. I’ve came outs sooooo creamy and delicious. I’ve tried several recipes but this one is the yummiest. I did add a teaspoon of sugar.i guess it is now an American recipe.

In reply to A. Hi! You can make tahini in the food processor, but I would suggest making that first, then using some in this recipe. The tahini would need to process for a while and you need to start with enough sesame seeds to keep the machine running. A small amount wouldn't get smooth enough.

Weird question, but can I make tahini with sesame seeds in my food processor. If so, can I blend the sesame seeds first and then add the chickpeas? Or can I add them directly to the chickpeas in the processor? I almost never have tahini but always have sesame seeds!
