Set aside 1 cup of the cooked chickpeas whole.
Warm the remaining chickpeas with the warm chickpea cooking water in a small pot for 5 minutes.
Whisk the garlic, lemon juice, tahini, cumin, and salt in a bowl.
Mash the warmed chickpeas roughly with a fork.
Mix the tahini sauce into the mashed chickpeas and add the whole chickpeas.
Serve msabbaha warm with olive oil, parsley, and red pepper flakes.
💡 Tip: If the tahini thickens, add warm chickpea cooking water rather than cold water; the dip becomes glossier and does not look split.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve msabbaha on a meze plate with olive oil, parsley, and warm pita if desired.
