Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz can chickpeas
- 0.25 cup pine nuts
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 0.5 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp water
- 0.25 tsp paprika
Instructions
Drain and rinse the 15 oz can of chickpeas under cold water.
In a small pan over medium heat, toast the 0.25 cup of pine nuts until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning, for about 3 to 5 minutes. Let them cool slightly.
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, 0.25 cup tahini, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 peeled garlic cloves, 0.25 cup olive oil, 0.5 tsp ground cumin, and 0.5 tsp salt.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Add 2 tbsp water to the food processor and continue blending until the hummus reaches your desired creamy consistency.
Add in half of the toasted pine nuts and pulse the food processor a few times to incorporate them but not fully blend.
Transfer the hummus to a serving dish.
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, the remaining toasted pine nuts, and sprinkle 0.25 tsp paprika over the top.
Serve the hummus with pita bread, assorted vegetables, or as desired.
