Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz (1 can, drained and rinsed) canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 large, peeled garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley
- 1 drizzle (optional, for garnish) extra olive oil
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess sodium.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and kosher salt.
Pulse the mixture until it begins to form a smooth paste.
While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the ice water. This helps make the hummus smooth and creamy. Blend for 2-3 minutes, or until the texture is silky and free of lumps.
Taste the hummus and adjust the flavors as needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or paprika to suit your taste.
Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and create a small well in the center with a spoon.
Optional: Drizzle extra olive oil into the well and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
