Ingredients

• 15 oz chickpeas (canned or cooked)
• 0.25 cup tahini
• 3 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 0.5 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp water
• 0.25 tsp paprika (for garnish)
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the chickpeas if using canned chickpeas. If using cooked chickpeas, ensure they are fully cooled.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, ground cumin, and salt.

Step 3

Blend the mixture on high until it becomes smooth. Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl as needed.

Step 4

Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, and blend again to achieve your desired consistency. If you prefer a thinner hummus, add an additional tablespoon of water.

Step 5

Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if needed (e.g., more salt, lemon juice, or cumin).

Step 6

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top and sprinkle with a pinch of paprika for garnish.

Step 7

Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or as a spread in sandwiches. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
