1. Drain and rinse the cooked chickpeas, reserving a quarter cup of their cooking liquid if using home-cooked ones. Gently warm the chickpeas in a small pot with a splash of water or the reserved liquid until heated through.
2. While the chickpeas are warming, finely mince the fresh garlic clove.
3. In a serving bowl, combine the warm chickpeas, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt. For a creamier texture, lightly mash a few chickpeas with a fork.
4. Stir gently to combine all ingredients, then drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving warm.
