3 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
halved lengthways
1 tsp sea salt flakes
400g tin chickpeas
drained (keep the liquid from the tin)
6 tbsp Belazu tahini
¼ tsp ground cumin
2 tbsp olive oil
plus extra to serve
a pinch paprika
to serve

Method

step 1
Put the lemon juice, garlic and salt in a bowl. Stir, then leave for 15 minutes so the garlic can flavour the lemon juice.
step 2
Tip the chickpeas into a food processor with 3 tbsp of the liquid from the tin. Whizz until smooth-ish then add the lemon juice (discard the pieces of garlic), tahini, cumin and olive oil. Whizz again, adding a little more chickpea liquid until you have a dippable texture. Drizzle with more oil and sprinkle with a little paprika before serving.
