Ingredients
- 400 g tinned chickpeas, drained
- 120 g tahini
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp olive oil, to finish
- salt
Method
Warm the chickpeas
Rinse the chickpeas and warm them briefly in hot water. Warm chickpeas blend far smoother than cold ones — this is the whole trick.
Blend the base
Blend the tahini, lemon juice and garlic first, until it seizes pale and thick, then add the chickpeas and cumin.
Loosen
With the motor running, trickle in ice-cold water a spoon at a time until it turns pale and mousse-like. Season with salt.
Serve
Spread into a bowl with a hollow in the middle, pool olive oil in it, and serve with warm flatbread.
