Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons (more if needed) ice water
- 0.5 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) paprika
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) extra olive oil
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly.
Peel the outer skins off the chickpeas (optional but highly recommended for ultra-smooth hummus).
In a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice. Blend for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is whipped and creamy.
Add the garlic clove, ground cumin, and salt to the processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Blend for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
Add half of the chickpeas to the food processor. Blend for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Then, add the remaining chickpeas and blend until smooth.
With the food processor running, add the ice water one tablespoon at a time until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning (add more salt, lemon juice, or cumin if needed). Blend for another 30 seconds to combine.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Optional: Drizzle with extra olive oil, sprinkle with paprika, and garnish with chopped parsley for an extra touch.
Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or veggies, or store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
