Equipment
Method

- Quarter the preserved lemons and remove any seeds
- In the food processor, add the garlic and the preserved lemon
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and pulse until the lemon is broken down a bit
- Add the kalamata olives
- Add the chick peas and pulse. Add water as needed for easier blending
- Add the tahini and the second tablespoon of olive oil and blend
- Add the lemon juice and the cumin, smoked paprika and crushed red pepper. Scrape the sides and blend again until fully mixed
- Chill for at least one hour before serving. Top with a smoked paprika and a splash of olive oil when serving.
