1/2 cup

lemon juice (use fresh)

4-5 cloves

garlic roughly chopped

salt or salt to taste

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Soak the chickpeas for 6 hours to overnight.

* Step 2

Take the chickpeas in a pressure cooker, then add the baking soda. Cook the chickpeas till you see the skin falling off.

* Step 3

Strain the chickpeas and run cold water to remove all the baking soda.

* Step 4

In a blender, combine the lemon juice, garlic and salt. Process until the garlic forms a paste, then let the mixture rest such that the garlic flavor can be infused, about 10 minutes.

* Step 5

Add the tahini to the blender to form a smooth and creamy mixture.

* Step 6

Add the cumin and the chickpeas to the blender. While blending, add the olive oil.

* Step 7

Blend until the mixture is extremely smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor as necessary, about 2 minutes. Add more water if necessary to achieve a creamy texture.
