Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste)
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons ice-cold water
Instructions
In a food processor or blender, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, cumin, and salt.
Blend the ingredients until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
While blending, add the ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. The water helps achieve a creamy texture.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if necessary (add more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to your preference).
Transfer the hummus into a serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
For garnish, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle paprika, fresh parsley, or sesame seeds as desired.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
