Peel garlic cloves and cut them in half lengthways and place in a small frying pan with the olive oil over a medium heat and cook until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Drain and rinse chickpeas and place into a blender. Add all other ingredients to the blender and by this time your garlic and olive oil should be cool enough to add. Blend to a consistency of your liking.
Serve with a selection of vegetable sticks as a snack while dinner is cooking. My favourites at the moment are red capsicum, carrot and snow peas!
