1. Drain the chickpeas and simmer in fresh water for about an hour until tender.
2. DO NOT ADD SALT!

4. Reserve the cooking water.
5. Process the chickpeas in a blender with the lemon juice, tahina, garlic and salt and enough of the cooking liquid to obtain a soft, creamy consistency.
6. Serve on a flat plate with a dribble of olive oil, and a little chopped parsley.
