Ingredients
Instructions
Add ¾ cup of tahini and 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until thick and creamy, about 60 seconds. Scrape down the bowl.
Add 1-2 small garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of cumin. Blend until the garlic is finely chopped. Scrape down again.
Add 3 cups of cooked chickpeas and blend until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl, then blend again.
With the machine running, drizzle in 1-2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Then add ice-cold water 1 tablespoon at a time (or 1 small ice cube) and continue to blend until pale, smooth, and creamy.
Add more salt, tahini, and/or lemon juice if needed, then blend 15 to 20 seconds more.
Spoon into a bowl, swirl, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and your favorite toppings.
