Tomatoes sweeten spicy chickpea dip.
Ingredients:
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, finely chopped
  • 4.00 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 5.00 gm ground cumin
  • 5.00 gm sweet paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 3 ripe vine-ripened tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 42.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • Crackers or rosemary flatbreads, to serve (see below)
  • 1 round Lebanese bread (about 25cm diameter)
  • 40.00 ml fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions:
  • In a frying pan, warm 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-low heat. Saute the onion for 10 minutes until soft. Stir in garlic, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Lower the heat, stir in the tomato, and cook for another 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Mix in chickpeas and continue cooking until heated through. Let it cool for 10 minutes. Blend the mixture in a food processor until nearly smooth. Add lemon juice and the rest of the oil, then blend until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C. Slice the Lebanese bread horizontally into two pieces and place on a large baking tray. Mix oil, garlic, and rosemary in a small bowl, then brush the bread with the mixture. Bake for 5-7 minutes until crispy and lightly browned. Allow to cool for 10 minutes, then break into pieces. Enjoy!
