It’s a creamy, nutty, tangy delight that pairs well with warm, pita bread, naan, or most any flatbread.
The earthy, starchy flavor of chickpeas gives it its base, while the thick, sesame admixture of tahini, as well as garlic, tangy lemon, and a blend of herbs and spices give it its classic taste.RECIPE INGREDIENTS:

130g / 1 cup onion
1 to 2 tablespoon Olive oil (to fry onion)
2 Cups / 1 Can (540ml can) Cooked Chickpeas
3/4 Cup / 175ml Water
200g Baby Spinach or (Spinach leaves not stems)
180g / 1 Medium Ripe Avocado (208g by weight with the seed)
Lemon Juice to taste (I have added 4 tablespoons of lemon juice)
2 garlic cloves - minces or grated
3 Tablespoon Tahini
1 Teaspoon Ground cumin
1 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Optional or to taste)
Salt to taste (I have added 1+1/8th teaspoon pink Himalayan salt)

TOPPING:
3 tablespoons Good quality Olive oil (I have used cold pressed extra virgin olive oil)
1 Jalapeno - finely chopped
To a heated pot add the olive oil, onion, salt and fry on medium heat until the onion starts to brown. Add the cooked chickpeas, and water and bring to a rapid simmer, then cover the lid and cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat. Uncover and add spinach and mix well and you will notice that the spinach starts to wilt. Turn off the heat right away and let it cool down completely.
