Prepare the workspace
Use cooked, drained chickpeas that mash easily. Prepare lemon, tahini, garlic and water. Respect blender capacity.
Perform the technique
Blend the base, adding water gradually. Stop the machine before scraping its sides with a spatula.
Check the result
Check texture before final seasoning: soft, not soupy. Taste before adding lemon and salt.
Correct mistakes
If grainy, check chickpea tenderness first. Lots of water cannot replace proper cooking. Omitting tahini creates a different flavour and texture.
