Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 large garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water to remove excess salt and starch.
Peel the garlic clove and set aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, ground cumin, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings if necessary. Add more lemon juice for brightness, more cumin for warmth, or a small pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers. The dip can also be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
