Method

  1. Drain and rinse the cooked chickpeas. Reserve a spoonful for garnishing if you like.
  2. Blend tahini, lemon juice and garlic until creamy. Add chickpeas, cumin and salt and blend again.
  3. Pour in the cold water a little at a time until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
  4. Spoon into a shallow bowl and finish with olive oil and paprika. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container.

Four dip portions. Pita and vegetables are not included. Tahini contains sesame; removing it would create a different recipe and change the nutrition.
