Ingredients
 

  • 1 purple sweet potato, peeled and steamed, (approx. 230 g.)
  • 3/4 tbsp cumin seeds, toasted
  • 1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed, save 3 tbsp of the liquid from the can to add to the mixture
  • 3/4 cup Tahini, (approx. 160 g.)
  • 1 fresh lemon, juiced + zest, about 1/4 cup
  • 2 garlic cloves, grated
  • Pinch Himalayan salt
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil , or more if needed.

Toppings

  • Toasted sesame seeds, fresh basil and Za'atar granola pieces, (Za'atar granola from Early Riser or your own with extra Za'atar) or few pinches of Za'atar

Equipment

  • 1 food processor or small blender

Instructions
 

  • Peel , cut into medium pieces and steam the purple sweet potato for approx. 10 minutes or until soft.
  • In the meantime, toast the cumin seeds. And rinse the grabanzo/chickpeas, reserving 3 Tbsp of the liquid.
  • Except the garbanzo liquid and olive oil, combine the steamed purple sweet potato pieces, toasted cumin, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), tahini, lemon, grated garlic, Himalayan salt in a food processor and blend.
  • While running (to help emulsify), add the liquid (3 tbsp of the can of garbanzo/chickpeas and 2 tbsp of olive oil) and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking. You can always add some more water or vegetal milk for a runnier texture (1-2 Tbsp at a time).
  • Serve in a bowl with toppings (optional).
