Chakalaka spice is a spicy bell pepper and chilli pepper dried spice from South Africa. You can substitute a local spice blend if you cannot get hold of it where you are.
Ingredients
  • 1x400g tin chickpeas
  • 125ml of the liquid drained from the tin of chickpeas
  • 4 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1.5 tsp tahini
  • ¼ tsp
  • Robertsons chakalaka spice
  • (or substitute a similar local spice)
Instructions
  1. Drain the chickpeas but reserve the liquid.
  2. Place the drained chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, tahini and chakalaka spice in a blender, then add 125ml of the reserved chickpea liquid. Pulse until the desired consistency has been reached (I like to leave a few larger bits in mine, rather than processing it to a totally smooth paste).  Check for seasoning and add salt or more chakalaka spice as desired.
