Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor, minus the basil, and pulse for 1 minute, scraping down the sides, pulse again. If the consistency is still too thick, gradually add the liquid from the chick pea cans to smooth it out and combine for another 2 – 3 minutes longer. 
  2. Add the chopped basil and pulse a few more times. You can add it in the beginning, but this will give more aesthetic appeal to see the basil. 
  3. To serve drizzle with a lil olive oil and garnish with sliced basil and chopped sun dried tomatoes. Serve with pita chips or fresh veggies.
