6 servings
- 2 cans (15 oz each) chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved separately
- ½ cup well-stirred tahini
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- ¾ tsp fine salt, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- 3–5 tbsp reserved chickpea liquid or cold water, as needed
For serving
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, for serving
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika or sweet paprika, for serving (optional)
- 1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Add the garlic and lemon juice to the bowl of a food processor and process for about 15 seconds, until the garlic is finely minced. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes — this mellows the raw garlic bite.
- 2
Add the tahini and salt to the processor and process for 1 minute, until the mixture is thick and pale.
