Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid. Beat 3 large tablespoons of the chickpea liquid with the hand mixer and add the sunflower oil drop by drop until a mayonnaise is formed (the more oil you add, the thicker the sauce will be). Then stir in the tahini and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
