The result is a velvety cream, perfect for transforming an aperitif into a moment of authentic pleasure, combining tradition and modernity.

🥣 Ingredients (for 4 people)

  • 250g cooked chickpeas (boiled at home or from a can, well drained)

  • 80 g of dried tomatoes in oil (or rehydrated in warm water, if natural)

  • 1 tablespoon tahini (sesame paste)

  • 1 clove of garlic (optional, for those who like a more intense flavour)

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 3 tablespoons Colli Borbonici® extra virgin olive oil

  • Salt to taste

  • Cold water to taste (to adjust the consistency)

👩🍳 Preparation

  1. Blend the chickpeas : place them in the blender with the dried tomatoes, tahini and lemon juice.

  2. Add the oil : pour in the Colli Borbonici® oil in a thin stream, continuing to blend until you obtain a thick, uniform cream.

  3. Adjust the consistency : if the mixture is too compact, add a drizzle of cold water, a little at a time.

  4. Taste and finish : add salt to taste, and if you want a stronger flavor, add half a clove of garlic.

  5. Serve : Transfer to a small bowl, garnish with a drizzle of raw oil and a few strips of sun-dried tomato.
