Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 60 grams Tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 60 milliliters Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 45 milliliters Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 30 milliliters Cold water
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish, optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Place the drained and rinsed chickpeas into a food processor.
Add tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt to the food processor.
Blend the mixture for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Slowly add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, while the food processor is running. This helps achieve a smoother texture.
Once the hummus reaches your desired consistency, taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or lemon juice, if needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center.
Drizzle a little extra olive oil into the well, and garnish with paprika and chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve with warm pita bread, fresh vegetable sticks, or use it as a spread. Enjoy!
