Method

Put the chickpeas in a food processor along with the garlic and tahini, and whiz until combined and finely chopped. Slowly trickle in the olive oil until it is the right consistency.
Now add a little lemon juice and salt and pepper, taste, then add more salt and lemon juice if it needs it. If it is too thick, add a splash of just-boiled water.
