Instructions
Blend the lemon juice, garlic and salt in the food processor, then let them sit for 5 minutes to mellow the garlic.
Add the tahini and blend until thick and creamy. With the machine running, add the ice water a spoonful at a time until pale and smooth.
Add the chickpeas and cumin and blend for a full 3 minutes, scraping down once, until very smooth. Add more ice water if it’s too thick.
Spread in a shallow bowl, make a swirl with the back of a spoon, drizzle with oil and dust with paprika.
Notes
- Blending the tahini with lemon and water first, before the chickpeas, is what makes it so smooth.
- Keeps 5 days in the fridge.
