Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp dried currants
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 tsp paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the drained and rinsed chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, curry powder, cumin, minced garlic, and salt into a food processor or high-speed blender.
Begin blending the mixture, gradually adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency.
Once the hummus is smooth and well combined, use a spatula to stir in the dried currants by hand to evenly incorporate them throughout the hummus.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed by adding more salt, lemon juice, or curry powder.
Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh veggies, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
