1. Put the chickpeas, tahini, oil, garlic, lemon juice and cumin or paprika in a food processor, sprinkle with salt and pepper and begin to process; add chickpea liquid or water as needed to make a smooth purée. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper or lemon juice as needed.

Garnish with a sprinkle of cumin or paprika and some chopped parsley or tiny cannabis fan leaves, if you have them! Serve with pita bread or chips and fresh vegetables.
