Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups cooked chickpeas
- 0.25 cup peanut butter (smooth, unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 2-4 tablespoons water
- 0.25 teaspoons paprika or smoked paprika (for garnish, optional)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
1. Drain and rinse the cooked chickpeas thoroughly. If desired, remove the skins for a smoother texture by lightly rubbing the chickpeas in a clean kitchen towel.
2. In a high-powered blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas, peanut butter, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, and sea salt.
3. Blend the ingredients on high speed. While blending, gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency.
4. Stop to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed to ensure that all ingredients are evenly combined.
5. Taste the hummus and adjust as needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or peanut butter to suit your flavor preferences.
6. Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit of olive oil. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped fresh parsley.
7. Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
