Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce can Canned chickpeas
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 4 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to reduce sodium content and improve the flavor of the hummus.
In a food processor, combine the rinsed chickpeas, peeled garlic cloves, lemon juice, tahini, water, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt.
Process the mixture for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure all ingredients are well blended.
If the hummus is too thick, gradually add a tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lemon juice according to your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color.
Serve with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or as a spread in sandwiches.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
