• 400g Fermented Chickpeas
• 1 1/2 Limes
• 1-2 garlic cloves
• 8-10 grinds of pepper
• 4-6 tablespoons
• MCT oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 2 Tablespoons Tahini

Method:

• Throw all your ingredients into a food processor and mix well.
• I always start with the minimum amount of oil, garlic and pepper and taste as I go and the texture is up to you. I used 6 tablespoons of MCT oil and left the dip thick.
• Keep in the fridge for a week.
• My kids love this dip, apparently, it tastes like "bought from the shop's dip" :)

Fermenting your Chickpeas:

• 1 can organic cooked Chickpeas
• Kultured Wellness Kefir
• Filtered Water

Method:

• You can cover your chickpeas in Kultured Wellness kefir if you would like these to ferment a bit quicker 12 hours, or
• Use 1/4 Cup of KW Kefir and cover the chickpeas with filtered water and ferment for 24 hours.

Fermenting your Seeds (any seeds)

• 1 Cup Sunflower Seeds or any you prefer
• 1/4 Cup KW Coconut Kefir Water
• Filtered Water

Method:

• Add all your ingredients into your jar and ferment for 12-24 hours.
• Make sure you add extra water at least an inch above the nuts or seeds.
• This will allow for the swelling of the seeds.
• Once you have finished fermenting them rinse them well in filtered water.
