Ingredients
- 15 ounce can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon garlic roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 4 tablespoons olive oil plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon water or more if needed
- fresh chopped parsley and smoked paprika for garnish optional
Instructions
- Place the lemon juice and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Puree, then let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes. This will neutralize the harsh flavor of the raw garlic.
- Place the chickpeas in a pot of boiling water. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until very soft.
- Drain the chickpeas. Remove the skins if desired (optional).
- Place the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, salt, cumin and water in the food processor along with the lemon juice mixture. Puree until smooth. Add more water as needed, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste and add more salt if needed.
- Place the hummus in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with paprika and chopped parsley if desired. Serve.
