Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Canned chickpeas
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Pine nuts
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas in cold water to remove any excess sodium.
Peel the garlic cloves and place them in a food processor along with the chickpeas.
Add the lemon juice, tahini, water, salt, and ground cumin to the food processor.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and consistent, scraping down the sides as necessary.
In a small skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown, shaking the pan frequently to avoid burning.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and create a slight well in the center.
Drizzle the roasted pine nuts and any remaining oil from the pan onto the hummus.
Sprinkle paprika and chopped fresh parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve the hummus with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or your preferred dippers.
