Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
- 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon additional olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Place the drained and rinsed chickpeas into the bowl of a food processor.
Add the tahini, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and kosher salt to the food processor.
Blend the ingredients together until a thick, creamy paste starts to form.
While the food processor is running, slowly drizzle in the cold water, one tablespoon at a time. Continue blending until the hummus is smooth and silky.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a small swirl in the surface.
For a final touch, drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
