Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 1 cup Cooked chickpeas (canned or pre-cooked)
- 1 clove Garlic
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground paprika (for garnish, optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Place the raw cashews in a bowl and cover them with warm water. Let them soak for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for a creamier texture. Drain and rinse the cashews before using.
In a food processor, combine the soaked cashews, cooked chickpeas, garlic clove, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt.
Pulse the mixture several times to break it down into smaller pieces, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
While the food processor is running, slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches the desired creamy consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice as needed.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil. Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
