Drain the chickpeas and rinse with cold water to remove any baking soda taste. Place them in a food process with the tahini and process until smooth.

Add lemon juice, garlic, salt and cumin. Pulse until combined and smooth. While the machine is running, slowly add ½ cup (120 ml) of the olive oil.

Step 5

Transfer into a serving bowl, drizzle with a little more olive oil, garnish with fresh parsley and sprinkle with cumin.

Step 6

Brush pita bread with remaining oil and grill on a grill pan of BBQ, on both sides. Sprinkle with sea slat. Stack the pita and cut into quarters and serve.
