Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can Canned chickpeas
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water. For an extra creamy hummus, remove the skins from the chickpeas, though this step is optional.
Add the tahini and lemon juice to a food processor. Blend on high for 1 minute until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
Add the garlic cloves, ground cumin, and salt to the processor. Blend again for about 30 seconds to combine.
Scrape down the sides of the processor with a spatula and add half of the chickpeas. Process for 1 minute, scraping down the sides as needed.
Add the remaining chickpeas and process for another 1-2 minutes until very smooth.
With the processor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil followed by the ice water. Blend until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency. Add more water if needed.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, lemon juice, or cumin if desired.
Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit more olive oil. Sprinkle with smoked paprika for a final touch, if using.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or use as a spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
