Steps:

Put the chickpeas in a food processor & pulse 5-10 times.
Add the the rest of the ingredients.
Purée for one or two minutes, adding cooking liquid or olive oil (a tablespoon at a time) until the mixture is to your desired smoothness.
Taste and adjust the seasoning (I often find I like to add much more lemon juice).
Serve, drizzled with the olive oil and sprinkled with a bit more cumin, paprika, sumac, parsley, pine nuts, or sliced black olives.
Refrigerate for up to a couple days or freeze for months.
