Ingredients
- 15 oz (1 can, drained and rinsed) canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- 0.25 cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 large, peeled garlic clove
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley
- 1 drizzle (optional, for garnish) extra olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess sodium.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and kosher salt.
Step 3
Pulse the mixture until it begins to form a smooth paste.
Step 4
While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the ice water. This helps make the hummus smooth and creamy. Blend for 2-3 minutes, or until the texture is silky and free of lumps.
Step 5
Taste the hummus and adjust the flavors as needed. Add more salt, lemon juice, or paprika to suit your taste.
Step 6
Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and create a small well in the center with a spoon.
Step 7
Optional: Drizzle extra olive oil into the well and sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
