Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 60 grams tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 pieces garlic cloves (peeled and minced)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoons extra olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Start by draining and rinsing the canned chickpeas to remove excess sodium and improve flavor.
In a food processor or blender, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cold water, ground cumin, and salt.
Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of cold water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or tahini to your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a slight swirl on the surface.
Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika, a drizzle of olive oil, or even a few whole chickpeas if desired.
Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
