Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) Canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
- 0.25 cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Ice-cold water
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish, optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (for garnish, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (to drizzle on top, optional)
Instructions
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and salt to a food processor or blender.
Process the ingredients on high speed until the mixture starts to form a thick paste.
While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time. Blend until the hummus is smooth and creamy. You can adjust the texture by adding more water, one teaspoon at a time, if needed.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a pinch of salt or more lemon juice as per your preference.
Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl and use the back of a spoon to create a small well in the center.
Drizzle a touch of olive oil into the well and sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley if desired.
Serve with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers, and enjoy!
