Grind the sesame seeds in a powerful blender about 3 minutes, until smooth paste forms.
Blender
💡At first the sesame looks like dry crumbs: keep grinding, scraping down the sides, and after a few minutes it releases its oil and turns liquid.
💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
3
Taste and adjust the seasoning.
4
Mix the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and cumin and season with salt.
5
Transfer the tahini sauce to a food processor, add the chickpeas, still warm, and process 3–5 minutes, until it is completely smooth.
Food processor
💡Grind the chickpeas while they are still warm: warm chickpeas grind into a smoother cream than cold ones.
6
Gradually add the water, until the hummus is creamy and airy, and a little thinner than the texture you want: it thickens as it stands.
💡Ice water, not ordinary water, gives hummus an airy, pale texture: the tahini emulsifies with it like mayonnaise.
7
Spread on a plate, make a well in the center and add the olive oil, paprika and parsley.
