Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup artichoke hearts (canned or jarred, drained)
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 whole garlic cloves (peeled)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by preheating a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and let it warm up.
Place the drained artichoke hearts onto the skillet and lightly sauté them for 5 minutes, until they are slightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, sautéed artichokes, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, cumin, salt, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
Blend the mixture on high speed, gradually adding the water one tablespoon at a time until the desired creamy consistency is reached. Scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or a touch of olive oil if needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a small swirl on top.
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, and some fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
