Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 5 cloves fresh garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups tahini
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them to make blending easier.
In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt.
Blend until the mixture starts to come together. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
With the processor running, slowly add water one tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or garlic if desired.
Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl. If desired, sprinkle with paprika and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil for garnish.
Serve immediately with fresh veggies, pita bread, crackers, or your favorite dippers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
