Ingredients

3 cups (500 g) chickpeas, drained (liquid reserved)
500 g
¼ cup (60 g) tahini
60 g
1½ lemons, juiced
45 g
2 cloves garlic
6 g
1 tsp cumin + ¾ tsp salt + za'atar to finish
5 g
2 tsp (8 g) olive oil, to finish
8 g
ice water as needed
60 g
Method
- The one non-negotiable: simmer the drained chickpeas 10 minutes in water with a pinch of baking soda, then rub off the skins under running water. Skins are what stand between you and silk.
- Blend the tahini, lemon, and garlic FIRST until pale and whipped.
- Add the warm chickpeas, cumin, and salt; blend a full 2 minutes, streaming in ice water until it's soft-serve smooth.
- Sweep into a bowl, drag a spoon-spiral, and finish with olive oil and za'atar in the grooves.
