Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups drained well-cooked or canned chickpeas , liquid reserved
1/2 cup tahini ( sesame paste) , optional, with some of its oil
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled , or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tbsp ground cumin or paprika , or to taste, plus a sprinkling for garnish
juice of 1 lemon , plus more as needed
chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

Directions:

1. Put everything except the parsley in a food processor and begin to process; add the chickpea liquid or water as needed to allow the machine to produce a smooth puree.
2. Taste and adjust the seasoning (I often find I like to add much more lemon juice). Serve, drizzled with the olive oil and sprinkled with a bit more cumin or paprika and some parsley.
