1. 1Prepare the chickpeas. Squeeze the lemon. Rinse and drain the chickpeas, removing any loose skins.
2. 2Blend. In a blender jug, blend the tahini with the lemon juice. Add the chickpeas and the garlic, with its central sprout removed, and blend until combined.
3. 3Add the oil. Slowly drizzle in the oil, moving the hand blender up and down to bring everything together. Add the salt and cumin. If it's too thick, add up to two tablespoons of water and blend for a few more seconds.
4. 4Serve. Serve with a drizzle of oil, a little paprika and sesame seeds. You can garnish it with a few whole chickpeas and some chopped parsley.
