Method
 

  1. Add the cooked chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt to the blender.
  2. Blend until the mixture starts to come together.
  3. Gradually stream in the ice water while blending, until you reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust the salt and lemon.

ملاحظات

Streaming in ice water as you blend gives a creamy texture and a lovely pale colour.
Peeling the chickpeas makes it incredibly smooth, if you're after perfection.
Adjust the lemon and garlic to suit your taste.
