Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Chickpeas (canned or cooked dried)
- 0.333 cup Tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (peeled)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Chilled water
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Optional: extra olive oil (for drizzling)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas (if using dried chickpeas, ensure they are fully cooked and softened). Set aside 1 tablespoon of chickpeas for garnish, if desired.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves, cumin, and salt.
Pulse the mixture a few times to break down the chickpeas. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
While the food processor is running, slowly add the chilled water, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more lemon juice, salt, or cumin if needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and use a spoon to create a small well in the center.
Drizzle olive oil over the top, then sprinkle with smoked paprika and fresh parsley. Add the reserved chickpeas to the top for extra texture, if desired.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
