Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz (drained and rinsed) canned chickpeas
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 (peeled) garlic clove
- 1 tsp ground cumin

Instructions
1. Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water.
2. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ground cumin, paprika, and salt.
3. Blend the mixture on high speed until it starts coming together. If the mixture is too thick or grainy, add 1 tablespoon of cold water at a time until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. You may need 2-3 tablespoons in total.
4. Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to suit your preference.
5. Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon.
6. For an optional garnish, drizzle a bit of olive oil over the top, sprinkle with paprika or sumac, and add a scattering of chopped parsley for freshness.
7. Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh veggies, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
