👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Grind the sun-dried tomatoes and chickpeas in a food processor with the garlic, lemon juice, basil, salt and black pepper.
    ⚙ Grinding in a Food ProcessorFood processor
    💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
  2. 2
    Add the olive oil gradually, while blending in a food processor, until to a smooth, even spread.
    ⚙ Fat in a Thin StreamFood processor
    💡The thin stream is everything: fat that goes in too fast can't bind, and the sauce breaks. For mayonnaise and hollandaise, if this happens, start with a fresh yolk and slowly add the broken sauce to it; if the sauce is too thick, thin it with a teaspoon of water.
