Place the chickpeas, tahini, cumin, lemon juice, olive oil and water in a tall container. Squeeze in the garlic cloves and puree everything with a hand blender. The result should be a smooth to slightly grainy paste. The consistency can then be made softer by adding oil and water. Cut the dried tomatoes into small cubes and stir into the mixture, season with salt at the end.
To serve, pour the paste into small bowls and drizzle with a little olive oil. Garnish with fresh coriander, sesame seeds and chilli flakes. Serve as an appetizer with fresh flatbread.
