Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 0.25 cups tahini (sesame paste)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon extra olive oil (for garnish)
- 1 sprig fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas under cold water to remove excess sodium or preservative flavors.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, cumin, and salt.
Process for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
If the hummus seems too thick, add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and process until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed; add a pinch more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil for flavor balance.
Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl and create a small well in the center using the back of a spoon.
Drizzle the extra olive oil into the well, then sprinkle paprika on top for color and a hint of smokiness.
Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and freshness.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or your favorite crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
