This tahini-chickpea dip is a great mashup of your favorite Shabbos staples.
I love having a variety of dips on my Shabbos table. chummus, techina, my favorite tomato and eggplant carpaccio (will share a hack in a few weeks to make this easier to prepare!) are pretty much the basics every week. Since I like changing it up a bit, I buy or make a couple of other dips that are more time-consuming, on a rotation to keep things exciting.
This dip that I make isn’t more time-consuming – it’s a mashup of chummus and techina – the easiest and most natural items to combine! It uses pantry ingredients that you can quickly pull together to make a dip that is familiar, but with a twist.
You can make it a few days before you need it or on Shabbos for a last minute addition.
Depending on if you use prepared chickpeas (the kind they sell in a deli container) or chickpeas out of a can, you need to adjust the salt and add more pepper to season it. The deli container chickpeas are softer and more seasoned but the canned ones work great in a pinch.
Want to hack this dip? Use prepared techina and just add chickpeas and fresh chopped parsley.
- ½ cup tahini paste
- ½ cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove, crushed
- Dash of cumin
- Dash of black pepper
- Salt, generously to taste
- Handful of chopped parsley
- ½ cup cooked or canned chickpeas
- Combine tahini paste, water, lemon juice and garlic. Whisk well with a fork.
- Add seasoning, parsley and chickpeas. Taste and adjust salt and seasoning. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Love this recipe…. gives such a delicious twist to chummus and techina.
I have served this as a hot dip/salad on Friday night.
Either prepare the hummus and techina together as you would serve it and put on hot plate before shabbos… or keep chummus room temperature and heat techina. And put together before serving.
For those who like charif you can add a swirl of schug for sharpness…
