Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Cooked or canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
- 1 large Fresh tomatoes (roughly chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 small Garlic cloves (peeled)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste (for extra flavor)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a food processor, add the cooked or canned chickpeas, chopped tomato, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and tomato paste.
Pulse the ingredients a few times to begin combining them.
Turn on the food processor and start blending the mixture while gradually drizzling in the cold water, one tablespoon at a time. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Stop the food processor occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary by adding more salt, lemon juice, or smoked paprika to your liking.
Once the hummus is smooth and has a creamy texture, transfer it to a serving bowl.
If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, chopped fresh parsley, or a drizzle of tahini.
Serve immediately with fresh vegetable sticks, whole-grain crackers, or pita bread, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
