Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked chickpeas
- 1 cup Cooked quinoa (or any other whole grain like farro, bulgur, or millet)
- 3 tablespoons Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water (as needed for consistency)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse and drain the cooked chickpeas thoroughly if using canned chickpeas.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, cooked quinoa (or chosen whole grain), tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, and salt.
Pulse the mixture until smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl.
While processing, add water gradually, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, or olive oil to suit your preference.
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with a bit of olive oil on top. Garnish with paprika and fresh parsley if desired.
Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
