Ingredients:

  • 2 x 400g cans of chickpeas

  • 6 tbsp tahini

  • 2 minced garlic cloves

  • 1 tsp crushed sea salt

  • 6 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 lemon (juiced)

  • paprika (optional)

  • food processor

Method:

  1. Drain the chickpeas, being sure to reserve the liquid, and rinse them in cold water. Set a few chickpeas aside and then tip the rest into your food processor.

  2. Add the tahini, minced garlic, salt, lemon juice, 7 tablespoons of the reserved liquid, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Blend until it forms a rough consistency.

  3. If you have a food processor, gradually add the rest of the oil while it is churning. If you are using a NutriBullet or similar then add the oil 2 tablespoons at a time until there is none left.

  4. Decorate with the remaining chickpeas, a sprinkle of paprika and a drizzle of olive oil.
