Gather @chickpea{2%can}, @ice cube{3} and @ground cumin{0.5%tsp}.

Set aside a spoonful of whole chickpeas for garnish, then blitz the rest in a food processor until a dry paste forms.

Add the @tahini{120%g}, @lemon{1.5} juice, @garlic{1%clove}, cumin and @salt{} and process for a full minute. ~{1%minutes}

With the motor running, drop in the ice cubes one at a time and process until the hummus turns pale and whipped, 2–3 minutes. ~{3%minutes}

Taste and adjust: it should lead with lemon, then tahini, then a hum of garlic.

Swirl into a shallow bowl with the back of a spoon, flood the well with @olive oil{3%tbsp}, and finish with the whole chickpeas and a dust of @paprika{}.
