Method

7 steps. Tap one to mark it done.

  1. Empty the cans of organic chickpeas into a strainer placed over a bowl to save the aquafaba.

  2. Transfer the drained organic chickpeas and 1/2 cup tahini into the blender.

  3. Extract the juice from 2 lemons directly into the machine, using your fingers to filter out any seeds.

  4. Add the 2 peeled garlic cloves whole into the blender container.

  5. Measure in 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1-2 pinches of kosher salt, and 1/3 cup of the saved aquafaba.

  6. Put the blender lid on, slide in the tamper, and run on high speed for approximately 30 seconds. Guide the ingredients toward the blades with the tamper until the dip is exceptionally creamy and smooth.

  7. Spread the mixture onto a plate, use a spoon's back to make a decorative swirl in the middle, then add a drizzle of olive oil and top with a dusting of paprika and fresh parsley.
