👨‍🍳 Method

For the Tahini sauce

  1. 1
    Mix the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and cumin and season with salt and black pepper.
  2. 2
    Gradually add cold water while stirring, until the sauce is smooth, pale and pourable.
    💡When you add the first water, the tahini thickens and looks like dough: that's fine. Keep adding water and stirring, and it loosens into a smooth sauce.

To assemble

  1. 3
    Drain the beans and rinse well under cold water.
    Colander
    💡Rinse canned beans well: the canning liquid is starchy and salty, clouds the dressing and softens the beans.
  2. 4
    Place the beans in a bowl and pour the tahini sauce over.
    Bowl
  3. 5
    Add the olive oil and parsley and stir gently.
  4. 6
    Sprinkle the hot paprika on top and serve.
