Ingredients
- 2 cups Chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 0.25 cup Tahini (sesame seed butter)
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Pine nuts
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small, dry skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden brown and fragrant. Stir frequently to avoid burning. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Step 2
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic cloves, cumin, paprika, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as necessary.
Step 3
Once blended to your desired smoothness, reserve a teaspoon of pine nuts for garnish. Add the remaining toasted pine nuts to the hummus mixture and pulse a few times to incorporate them into the hummus.
Step 4
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice for acidity or salt for taste if desired.
Step 5
Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with the reserved toasted pine nuts and a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley if using.
Step 6
Serve with whole grain pita bread, vegetables, or as a spread on sandwiches. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
