  Toast the sesame seeds in a non-stick pan, turning them over with a spoon to ensure they do not burn. Transfer the seeds to a blender, add the oil and blend until creamy. Then scoop the mixture into a jar.

  Pour the chickpeas into the blender with 2 tablespoons of the sesame seed cream, lemon juice, minced garlic, oil and a pinch of salt. Blend well and transfer to a bowl.
