yields
Serves 6 to 8
2 cups canned chickpeas drained with liquid reserved
½ cup tahini
¼ cup smoked brisket fat (or substitute rendered bacon fat) plus more for drizzling
2 garlic cloves peeled
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon sumac
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt to taste
Chopped cilantro for garnish
Pita bread or chips
Pro tip: lightly toss pita bread in oil and put it on the grill. It adds a nice char and crisps it for easier scooping.
Ingredients
steps
