Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic (peeled)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold water

Instructions
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, ground cumin, and salt.
Blend the mixture until it starts to form a rough paste.
While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Continue blending until smooth and creamy.
Add the cold water one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition, until the dip reaches your desired consistency. You may not need all 4 tablespoons.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed (add more salt or lemon juice to taste).
Transfer the chickpea dip to a serving bowl and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
Drizzle a little olive oil on top, sprinkle with paprika, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with flatbread, pita chips, or sliced vegetables for dipping.
