Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid, and rinse. Combine the garlic, peanut butter, lemon juice and cumin in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Add some of the reserved chickpea liquid to loosen if too thick, and adjust the seasoning according to taste with extra lemon juice and salt and pepper. Transfer to a shallow bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with your choice of chopped vegetables for dipping.
