A delightful and creamy chickpea tahini dip, perfect for pairing with pita bread or fresh vegetables.
Combine the cooked chickpeas, tahini, salt, garlic, lemon juice, and cumin in a food processor.
For a smoother texture, add a bit of water or olive oil while blending.
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the dip to a serving plate and spread evenly.
Use the back of a spoon to create a swirl pattern on the surface for presentation.
Drizzle olive oil over the dip and sprinkle with paprika, toasted pine nuts, and chopped parsley.
For added flavor, use flavored olive oil such as garlic-infused.
Serve the dip with pita bread or vegetable sticks.
Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture.
