240 g chickpeas (I use tinned but you could use dried and soaked ones)
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
100 g tahini paste
1 lemon juice only
2 drops lemon essential oil I use doTerra's. If you don't have this add the juice of another lemon
reserved chickpea water
salt and pepper to taste

Place the chickpeas, garlic, tahini paste and lemon juice into a small food processor and blend with a little of the reserved chickpea water
Stop and scrape down the sides of the food processor and add more chickpea water to reach the desired consistency
Remove from the food processor into a bowl and stir through the lemon essential oil
Add salt and pepper to taste
