Make the hummus. In a food processor, combine the garlic, lemon juice, and half a teaspoon of salt. Let it rest for at least fiveâ¯minutes so the flavour of the garlic mellows. Add the chickpeas and tahini and blend to a smooth paste. While the machine is spinning, drizzle in twoâ¯tablespoons of ice water. Stop the machine, scrape down the sides, and taste the hummus. Season with a little more salt and pepper. If youâd like it to be looser, mix in another tablespoon of ice water. Blend until sup
