This flavorful Smoky Pecan Dip is Pearson Farm's version of hummus. It is quick, easy and so GOOD! Serve with veggies or spread on your leftover turkey sandwiches.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Pearson Farm Chopped Pecan Pieces
• 3 cups of chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 heaping teaspoon smoked hot paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• salt, to taste
• 1/2 - 1/2 cup water

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Spread the pecan pieces onto a baking sheet, and toast for 15 minutes.
3. Remove and cool slightly.
4. Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.
