Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Chickpeas (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 0.25 cup Tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 2 medium Jalapeño peppers (seeds removed for less heat, optional)
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Lime zest (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Add the chickpeas, tahini, jalapeños, garlic, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and water to a food processor or blender.
Pulse the mixture a few times to begin breaking up the ingredients.
Blend or process the mixture for 3-5 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until the hummus is smooth and creamy.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as desired. Add more lime juice for tanginess, jalapeño for heat, or salt to enhance flavor.
If the hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time and blend again until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped cilantro, lime zest, and a sprinkle of paprika if desired.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or tortilla chips. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
