Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups canned chickpeas
- 1 cup extra firm silken tofu
- 0.5 cup tahini
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove excess salt and preserve taste.
Place the chickpeas, silken tofu, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, peeled garlic cloves, ground cumin, and salt into a food processor.
Blend the ingredients on high speed until a smooth mixture forms, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
With the food processor running, gradually add cold water one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until the desired creamy consistency is reached.
Taste the hummus and adjust the salt or lemon juice to preference.
Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl, and use the back of a spoon to create a slight swirl on the surface.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of paprika for an extra burst of flavor and color.
Serve the hummus dip with sliced vegetables, pita bread, or crackers.
