Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 0.25 cups Tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, ground cumin, and salt.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.
If the mixture seems too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend again until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more lemon juice, salt, or cumin to suit your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with additional olive oil for a finishing touch.
For an optional garnish, sprinkle ground paprika over the top and add a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
