Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas
- 1 cup roasted red peppers
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold running water to remove excess sodium.
In a food processor, add the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic cloves.
Blend the mixture for about 1 minute, scraping down the sides as needed, until the ingredients start to combine.
Add olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and water to the mixture. Blend again until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of water, one at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin to suit your taste preference.
Once smooth, transfer the hummus to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and optionally, a drizzle of olive oil.
Serve immediately with veggies, pita bread, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
