Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 425 g Chickpeas (canned)
- 2 large Ripe avocados
- 60 ml Tahini
- 45 ml Fresh lemon juice
- 30 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 small Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh cilantro
- 30 ml Water
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium. Set aside.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a food processor.
Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Start blending on a medium setting, then gradually increase to high. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if needed, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Slowly add the water while blending to achieve the desired consistency. The hummus should be creamy and well-blended.
Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if required by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
Once smooth and well mixed, transfer the hummus to a serving bowl.
Garnish the top with chopped fresh cilantro and a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
Serve immediately with pita chips, fresh vegetables, or as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
