Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons Tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large Garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (sweet or smoked)
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 dash Paprika or chili oil (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt.
Pulse the ingredients several times to begin breaking them up, then blend continuously while adding 2 tablespoons of water to achieve a creamy consistency. Scrape down the sides of the processor as needed.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings as desired. Add more lemon juice for tanginess, cayenne for more heat, or salt to enhance flavor.
Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl. If desired, drizzle with a dash of paprika or chili oil and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers, or refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
