Step 1
Drain 2 cans chickpeas, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid. Set aside a handful of whole chickpeas for topping.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the remaining chickpeas, 1/4 cup tahini, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 garlic clove, and 2 tbsp olive oil. Blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
With the processor running, add the reserved chickpea liquid 1 tbsp at a time until the hummus is creamy and light, about 3 minutes total.
Step 4
Spread the hummus onto a plate. Top with the reserved chickpeas, drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 tsp sesame seeds and chopped parsley if desired.
