Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan. Drain the sweetcorn and pour onto a preheated baking tray, roast for 10 minutes, until turning golden brown, reserve a tbsp for later and tip the rest into a blender or food processor.
Add the drained chickpeas, tahini, garlic, juice of the lemon and a tbsp of rapeseed oil. Blend on full speed, add water to reach the desired consistency, season generously with the smoked salt and blend again.
Pour into a serving bowl, indent the top with a spoon and top with an even covering of first rapeseed oil, then the coconut flakes, reserved roasted corn and the zaatar.
Serve with seasonal raw vegetables and/or flatbreads to dip.
