Directions:
- Drain the chickpeas and simmer in fresh water for about an hour or until tender. Reserve the cooking water.
- Process the chickpeas in a blender (or food processor) with the lemon juice, tahina, garlic, salt and enough of the cooking liquid to obtain a soft creamy consistency.
- Serve on a flat plate, garnished with a dribble of olive oil, a dusting of paprika (this is usually done in the shape of a cross) and a little parsley.
- Serve with warm pita bread for dipping.
